I have visited here a few times, because I was having an issue with my side stand, and how far my RSV was leaning. I was happy to see, and read, some good advice and directions on what to check. Ended up spending the money and replaced the side stand and nut/bolt/collar. I can not tell you how much better it is now!! No more center stand overuse for me! At 62 and a whopping 165lbs, pulling my bike up from a hard lean was quite the challenge. I had almost concluded that I needed a lighter bike, but hated the idea of letting her go. Much better now!
