I increased my cornering clearance for $0!
The center stand is obviously the hang up here. I was looking at the bike today and had a thought. (Usually a dangerous proposition). I pulled out the rubber bumper that the center stand rests up against just to see if the stand came into,contact with and hard bits. Not even close. And the center stand sits WAY higher without it. Now, also obviously, I don't want the stand hitting and banging metal on metal with the stopper tab, so I took the bumper to the band saw and cut it way down in thickness. I measured the vertical,difference in ground clearance and the foot is now a bit over 1" higher! About 28 mm. Should,give a couple more degrees of lean angle I would imagine. beforeafterbeforeafterafter....forgot to take a before picture
