I had the Busa lowered 3 inches a while back so I also got a short kickstand put on her and now I raised the front all the way back up and the rear is only lowered 1/2 inch but I still have the short kickstand on there and it seems like she might be leaning a little far so my question... Is it possible for the Busa to lean too far over?? Should I put the stock kickstand back on?

Yes! You need to get it back up to close to the stock lean angle. First soft spot you park her in she is going over.

If you go back stock I will be interested in the short kickstand if you decide to sell-- let me know by PM if you do- thanks, Chris

sounds good. I also have a skeleton triple tree that goes with it and extra lowering links

Your putting too much thought into a bike lean. It's fine, ride it.

I would put the stocker back on. At the very least carry a stand puck with you and use it at all times. You never know.

If your kick stand is down, you are not riding it enough.

Cant say Ive seen you around but 2 good lookin rides you got there. Friend of mine used to have a black SRT-4 that he would let me drive from time to time, pretty quick little thing. Wish I had a picture of my 2-wheeler on here but I dont, possibly take some pics tomorrow and get em up
