Lean Angle with Center Stand

[50btripn]

I recently purchased one of Don's modified center stands for my 2nd Gen. For those of you with a 2nd Gen with of these center stands:

 

Have you noticed a significant reduction in lean angle to the left? If so, what have you done or modified to correct it? Will "pumping up" the rear and/or front shock help?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

This was even a problem with 1st gen Ventures, where your lean angle was reduced on the left as opposed to the right. And since the 2nd gen has a inherent slight drop in the rear, it will suffer more. But, raising the rear will help and the most readily way to do this is pumping the rear shock up to a max of say 50lbs. However if you have a passenger, it will take up some of this spring sag at put you back at that same level. If you also install DiamondRs "Leveling Links" it will give you an extra 1" which will help in more ways than this, especially in the curves and slow speed manuevers.

 

Hope this helps,

appreciate the info Rick. I will definitely give the leveling links a try.
