I suddenly grew some legs. Sprouting away.
With the side stand’s poor convenience still in place <\/strong>there seem to be quite a few motorcycle riders dealing with this issue.

Improving the side stand’s convenience reduces trouble and definitely makes things easier <\/strong>I think.
It’s a good idea to have your regular bike shop modify it for you (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I bent a SUS round bar and quickly welded it together.
I prefer to keep things as simple as possible and I’m a “U-shape person” <\/strong>.
