The 1199 version drops it about the same on an 1199. But the 899 is set up to use the equivalent of the progressive setting. If anyone goes that route, I have mine set to 138mm to the center of the bolts.
As far as ride quality, most importantly I feel more secure on the bike. Cornering is like its on rails. I can toe drag and feel in complete control. The bike still remains very responsive. Hope this info helps. Sry to bring up old post. |

| krissrock | if anything that stand is stronger because it doesnt' get as narrow as it did before |

| tkauftheil | The weld is just as strong as factory. Magnesium stock was used so there isn't an issue with metallurgy. If anything, the stand will fail at the bolt first. This is really the only pic I have. It's from the rear. I took it during the test fit. Before the weld was polished up and painted. It's sits at an 10 deg of lean. Stock was at about 13 I think before I put the lowering links on. For comparison, with the links on and the stock stand, she was only leaning at 4 deg. Made me very nervous. Attachment 17042 |
