900 kickstand for lowered MS

900 kickstand installed. Here is a before and after lean angle reference.








Very easy mod. The two key tools used were ratchet straps and an electric impact wrench. I ran a couple of rachet straps to the shop rafters as insurance. I tilted the bike just enough to where the kickstand was still touching the ground but no weight on it. I slid wood up under the frame on both sides and snugged the ratchet straps. The spring is pretty darn strong. I raised the kickstand, ran a loop of wire around the bottom/back of the spring and hooked the loop up to a ratchet strap I had ran thru the rear rim. I cranked the strap just enough to release the spring from the kickstand and left it like that. I used the electric impact wrench to loosen the kickstand bolt. Swapped them, reinstalled bolt/nut, raised the kickstand, lined up the spring and released the ratchet strap. It took longer to set up than it did to swap them out.

Thanks to Conmar for pushing me towards this needed mod.
