The problem with the wedge in my year is the stand mount is part of the floorboard.

When you shim the stand you are changing the angle of the floorboard which I think someone else mentioned as well.

This is why I had to go this route. As I said, when stand is retracted, you don't see it. When down, you don't even see it or pay attention to it.

It really does work well.

Yeah you can , what I had to mine. I like my bikes sitting up a bit so I use the chicken strip on the tires without tearing up pipes & pegs.
