Couple years ago, my driveway re-surfaced. So I had a small board on the driveway I put the kickstand on so it didn't sink into the blacktop. So one day, pull up, oh that board is just out of reach to get but if I lean the bike over just a little......................

I still think the oem ''jiffey''stand (stupid word btw), is inviting a fall over.....There are a couple posts in here where the bike is idling and th damn thing falls over, On the left side!!

Even more so when we have the passenger on the bike with us!
