New run around, but it wants me off!

[Svsam]

I picked this up last weekend as it’s got a few bits I want for my project. 

Not sure if it’s come from anyone on here originally?

I plan on using it for the rest of the year before I start pinching bits. 

Was a bit surprised to have the kickstand scrape the floor on a left handed the other evening  is this common on slingshots? Is there anything I can do to make it higher as I down want to end up low siding down the road. 

Any suggestions appreciated

is the stand bracket damaged? im sure the sidestand should come up further towards the footpeg  than yours.

I’ll have to check it against the other one.

Does, look ti be sitting a, bit low at the rear too, should be close to where it is on the padock stand without being on the stand

side stand looks wrong I thought the spring peg was on the inside

Looks same as my 1100L.

yeah i just had a look at mine, mines a bit further up at the back, but not much

Is the spring too long (wrong spring?) Allowing the side stand to sag? If you try and lift the stand, does the spring go loose on the mounting peg?

........ if it were me though I'd drill and tap a thread and fit a titanium bolt and just spark the shit out of it on left hand bends! Lol

Cut a wee notch out the the holding bracket to enable side stand  to fold up to horizontal position 

with a spring change

It’s definitely the right stand. 
after a bit of searching around I think it’s the swingarm that’s making the bike sit real low at the back as@MeanBean49spotted. 
Was also running a 160 tyre on a 5.5” rim which wasn’t giving a lot of lean angle. 

made myself a pair of dog bones 15mm shorter that the ones on it bought what I thought was and original 4.5” rim off eblag with new 170 pilot power tyre. Turns out I can’t read and got another 5.5 but at least the tyre sits on it better now!

went for a quick 20mins blast and feels way better at turning in now
