Maybe this thread should be merged with the deceleration stall thread.

I had those Chinese extenders on my FZ-07. At freeway speed they were very buzzy blurry. The inside of my hex rusted as well. A buddy bought a pair for his FZ-07 and stripped the aluminum threads on install. I installed the Adventure Techs on the FJ. They look like factory and no blur.

The only time I use the center stand is when it is in the garage. Seems like most places I go is either uneven ground and or dirt which is not safe for the center stand, hence the foot enlarger.

How thick are the feet under the side stand? In upgrading the suspension I have raised my bike and it leans over farther on the side stand. It would be nice to gain some stand length. The Adventuretech site only has photos from the top.Yeah the motech is at least twice as thick as the adventurtech. This helped a lot with my FZ-07 when I put an Ohlins on the back which raised the bike.

I have the SW Motech foot enlarger on my FZ-07. I have the Adventuretech foot enlarger on my FJ-09.http://www.adventuretech.biz/yamaha-side-stand-foot.html The motech foot has a very rough bottom and catches the floor easily. Moving your bike even slightly forward causes the kickstand to be pushed back. I came close to dropping the bike when this happened the first time. Now I am paranoid. The adventuretech foot allows the foot to slide and behave just like a plain kickstand foot. Oh and it is almost $30 cheaper.

I tip toe this bike in regular shoes. My riding boots are steel toed and shank, heavily padded work boots. Heels are 1.5". I can flat foot one side without sliding way over on the seat. FYI.
