    I have completely removed my centerstand and the tabs. strictly going side stand. I doubt with the drop that using the center stand would be possible. too low.

    Plus I needed to remove the center stand to tuck the exhaust up more.

    One of these days I need to finish the damn thing so I can proudly post some photos. ha

      I parked my bike beside my tent on the centerstand. The bike fell over during the night. If the tang hadn't been pointed toward me, but away from me, the bike would likely have fallen on me. If the ground is suitable for tent pegs, I recommend the sidestand.

        Yikes. I guess always carrying a puck is a good idea. Or extra set of tent lines and stakes!

          Just use the sidestand on a puck or a flattened beer can. It works perfectly.
