WildBill1 Posted May 20, 2011 #1 Posted May 20, 2011 Just lowered my 06 Venture front forks 1.5 inches had already installed the Barons lowering kit on the rear. Now the bike is finally level and handles like a Harley Ultra without the engine heat. I ride alot on the BlueRidge Parkway and use the scenic parking lots to park which are not level ground by no means. Does anyone know of another Yamaha kickstand only shorter that can bolt on an 06 Venture. Please don't recommend the Baron shorty stands--- they don't have the ground foot like Yamaha.
Owen Posted May 20, 2011 #2 Posted May 20, 2011 A road star stand is what I used. The bolt hole is smaller. Check carefully for the correct size to drill it. I believe it is 12mm. It is much better than the original but some say it needs to be even a bit shorter. It works for me.
Hulign Posted May 21, 2011 #3 Posted May 21, 2011 I have been looking for one of these shorter stands too. Anyone know a source that doesn't think they are rare gold? Thanks Frank
