Any specific recommendation on a kickstand pad for the XX?

[The Krypt Keeper]

I looked at those just for summer time use for parking lots instead of digging into my tank bag looking for plastic puck. Let us know if it fits stand foot and clears around exhaust.

I took a look see at my stand last night after plug R&R.

It has always had a substantial wobble; I thought it was some sort of springy deal built in for some reason. 
But no, the nut was just loose. I tightened it up and voila no slack. 
Maybe that was was the cause of the substantial lean Bill (XXtitanium) was concerned with on our adventure.

I think I will get one of those deals after you review it.

Speaking of Bill where has he been? Is he ok?

Dang, that foot print is huge. Next time you go out to the bird could you snap a side pic of it in the up position. Dont hurt yourself, ask a dog to take pic or hold bike up for you. Curious how close it is the footpeg

I think you meant something else?  Close to the...centerstand?  Exhaust?

Yes.. 😂 

 

It was late and I was tired.. looking through blurry brain and eyes

[SwampNut]

If you tell me what you meant, I'll get pics later when it's shop time.  I can't centerstand it where it sits.

[The Krypt Keeper]

center stand while both in up position, just really curious.. hell don't even need a pic, i will take your word. all good and no issues, or little annoying or kinda close but manageable. certainly cant be worse than my rc51 side stand which rests directly under the vortex rear set and pain in dick to put down that its almost easier to put down with your hand because of location 

[SwampNut]

I'm still unsure what you mean, but nothing interferes with anything else.  Other than just looking big, I see no downside.

[rockmeupto125]

I drag pegs. That looks like it would be gone in a hot minute. 

[SwampNut]

Do you drag pipes?  In this corner, I did some damage to the exhaust, which touched about the same time as the peg feeler.

 

 

 

 

But which parts touch first are a function of both suspension setup and your riding style, right?  Another XX rider would touch the fairing first.  Anyway, the pad is on the same plane as the peg-to-exhaust line.  I'm more concerned with having a daily driving machine that goes to the grocery store and customer meetings, and I'm not even sure when this bike will see its first real curve.

 

Call me old I guess.

 

 

 

Ah fuck, I think I see some dirt on the swingarm.  Time to clean again.

 

Oh, and yes, I do have vastly more hours restoring and cleaning than riding.

 Your upper body is at pretty much center line of the bike, no wonder you drag all kinds of parts of the bike at modest cornering speed. 

 The idea of skilled riding is to decrease lean angle for motorcycle for given cornering speed.

My takeaway from the above pics is...... wow that machine is clean.

Stock pipes, yes.

That's Carlos, but as for myself, cervical and lumbar stenosis along with hip and knee limitations make getting off the bike extremely difficult.  We all do what we can. I've watched you ride, tomek, and it's just wow, I only wish...

We also went there to run the corner in every position possible to compare what would hit.  That's how we learned how to hit the fairing and make a fucking hole in it, too.  Around 8 of us, Hayabusas and XXs.  Two-up, obviously, puts the pipes down hard.

 Well, whatever. Intentional or not body position in that picture screams beginner, not even intermediate rider. 

  

 The only part I've ever dragged on XX was front part of lower fairing during hard on brakes corner entry with a bump or a dip.

Your need to brag about the only thing you're good at is annoying, but understandable.  Shit talking others for not being as good at it is beyond annoying and is one of the reasons you're on the board's most hated list.  Next time you feel the need to brag, remember that the slowest pro rider is probably way faster than you.

[SwampNut]

It is sad, along with the pressing need to lash out based on a totally fabricated butthurt event many years ago.

Team work. Never fails. 😜 And, as usual, you are making the ship up. 

Well, please continue.

 That plus this.

LOL, Oscar, FISH ON!!!!

Back to the original topic:

 

I recommend this one.

 

 

Thanks, Carlos!

[SwampNut]

It seems smaller than the one I got, so on a practical matter, just as good/better.  I couldn't resist going with the silver bling and "1100" logo.  I'm such a princess.

I lost mine in Canada. I swear I tightened it as much as I dared since it seemed to be Chineseum. Pretty tight. 
I just took the bird off the lift (finally) and am incentivized to get the one like yours for it. Most of my land is pretty soft so I lug a pad around with me.
