since getting my suspension set up and ride height adjusted the kickstand is now too short. Has anyone found replacement kick stands that are longer or bolt on extenders similar to what the BMW guys have available?

Using blocks of wood as shims measure how much longer you want your stand to be. Then remove and take it to a competent welder. You can add a plate under the foot or just lengthen the shaft. Grind, prime, and paint,

a good welder should be able to match the material? it's not some exotic Italian steel or something, is it? ;-)

I have never used these, but it looks like an option

interesting, thanks for the link. I'll look into that a little more.

Park on hills with the kickstand uphill, or use the center stand.

In my garage, I use blocks of wood under the side stands.

All of these ideas work, just choose what works best for you.

yup, I do all of that already. I was looking for something more universal.
