Well as I took my perf exhaust off the mess with it today I noticed my center stand had been rubbing on the header and put a nice gouge in it! Its a damn good thing I noticed it probably would've went straight on through before too long. I just took off my stand. Im bummed I had to take it off tho, my side stand is sturdy enough but I like the center stand for working on it and for checking the oil accurately grrrr. Anyone else had to deal with this and have any good solutions?

This is not a common issue I have seen. ( I am no expert ) Is there anyway you could take a picture or video? Can you put the stock exhaust back on for testing? No bike should be without a center stand IMO unless you have airbags and a wide stance....... Out of the box solution-----!!!! May ruin exhaust !!!!------ A small dent in the header pipe with a hammer could solve the rubbing issue. (old school redneck engineering) I would NOT recommend this option but a decent amount of heat (like a welding flame) and a hammer can fix most problems for a while  Let us know how it goes I am very interested in a solution because the china side stand is known to fall off with regular use........ Good Luck friend!!!!!! Keep us updated!!!!! |

Well thankfully my side stand has been holding up, its just annoying to check the oil level while trying to hold it level lol. well at least the stand doesnt scrape on rly sharp turns anymore. I might try to mock it up and see if I can grind anything off of it without screwing with its structural integrity. Its not the worst problem I guess.
