adjustablesidestand options??

[skypilot@cycles4sale.com]

So what are the options for shortening or making adjustable side stands? Links to photos and descriptions of how each method worked would be the best replies to this. I had planned to chop off an inch then make a 1 inch block that could be attached and removed. When the panniers are full and both dry bags are on board it stands up way to straight for my comfort. I have a bar with a c shaped end that fits against the frame then I wedge the other end against the ground to keep it from tipping over. With this very upright position the pannier tops make a good table top for cooking or what ever. Still some versatility in the kick stand height would be handy. I will compile reported methods into one document and upload it to the files section Chris Eckert ***** original msg follows ****** My suspension height changes a lot (with / without camping gear) and the OEM sidestand was just a bit too tall. The bike tended to be too vertical and easily tipped over on the right side. A lowered sidestand was too short so I modified it, as others have done before, so it could be adjusted (see photo section 'Adjustable Sidestand_2'). I still need to cut off the extra threaded rod but I'm sure that after I get the length dialed in, I won't change it much after that. Don R100, A6F
