I have upgraded the rear shocks on gpz 750 twin shock
But the side stand is too short and the bike leans too much
Any ideas of longer stands

Measure the length and let me know how long you want it as I have a longer one from a H**** here

The Z650 will accept a GT550 shaft drive side stand which is longer , I think they will fit the 750 too. See if you can find one on ebay and contact the seller to measure.

Hi
Original stand is 21cm from centre of bolt hole to base
Thanks

What about dropping the pressure in your tyres to say 5 psi??

Glad to be of assistance.

so how long do you want it?
22, 23, 24 cm

probably about 23cm

If you dropped the pressure to the 5 psi that I suggested it would lower the ride height and then the stand would reach the ground sooner. Thus reducing the severe lean angle that you were initially concerened about.

If the height of your rear tyre was say 60mm, I reckon dropping it to 5 psi would reduce the "static load radius" to about 20mm.
If the height of your front tyre was say 55mm, I reckon the SLR would reduce to approx 17mm.

I hope this helps.

So why not just slide the forks thru the yokes a bit - simples

Thank you for all the help guys
I have the forks dropped 2cm
Will try a longer stand
Many thanks

Ricky,

I've just noticed you are "over the water" in Fife.

We'll have to meet up sometime.

Ricky - Not a good move, you will not get away in one piece. Folk have visited Jimmock and never been seen again. Some have been rumoured to end up in TESCO`s burgers.

Ricky,

That is just NOT true!!!!

You will have a ball of a time in my dungeon, er I mean workshop.
