Did a couple of rides with the new sidestand, and it's REALLY nice not having to get off the bike to put it on it's centerstand every time you have to stop. I have a gate that I need to open each time I ride, and getting off the bike and hoisting the JOTA can be a real pain....Now I merely reach over with my left foot and deploy the stand. I have other bikes that have centerstands, but they are not the fat pig the JOTA is (and I mean that in an endearing, but literal, way)...
The Kawi stand is the perfect length for my bike (stock forks at stock height, Works Performance rear shocks, but eye to eye length is same as stock shock), just right amount of lean. Clears left side muffler by about 1/2 inch when retracted, but did foul retracting tab on centerstand, so I removed the stand, like those above, since I have a paddock stand that can be used if need be....again, thanks to Jim for having these made up, and thanks to all those who contributed towards the ingenious engineering that went into this piece....
