After the post about the GL1100 side stand, I'm considering shortening the side stand on my gl1500 by about an inch. Thats because on some road surfaces when parking I find that I have to be really careful about where I park so the bike won't tip over, blow over in wind or get knocked over by meddlers. My suspension is up high and the fork oil is new after I fitted the new fork so it's not down to bad maintenance.
Anyway, I'm thinking of cutting a piece out of the stand and welding it back an inch short. With the weight of the Wing I'm not sure if this is 100% advisable and would appreciate some opinions.
