Sidestand

The side, or prop, stand has been mentioned in some online reviews as being too long. I can now confirm that it is! I had difficulty finding a good place to leave the bike on a short trip on saturday and then 10 minutes later a draft from a truck blew it over. Drat it! Very little damage as the leverguard took the impact. However that was then too close to the lever (I've already had to bend the guard on the clutch side as the PO had left the too close). A bit of bending sorted the guard as a temporary measure but this means that 2 jobs are needed:

1. shorten the stand by 1cm or so - but not too much
2. get a set of shorty levers or cut and lumiweld standard ones

Unfortunately I haven't had time for a proper trip out
