friesman Posted February 1, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2010 Not many guys have attempted to shorten the G1 Ventures. What did you do, and how did it affect handling etc? and how much did you gain on the seat height? I have heard of a couple of guys taking the stand to a fabricators and have them cut an inch off (sounds so wrong...) ....and reweld Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimack77 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted February 1, 2010 The bike seem to have been lowered by the PO, side stand makes the bike sit to upright very easily tipped to the right, and all most impossible to place on center stand, had to use ramp on rear tire, otherwise runs true and performs great. cimack77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted February 1, 2010 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2010 If it would help you out any, I have an extra stand from an 88 that I don't need. You could get it to a welder, while keeping your bike running. All I would want is my shipping costs. [ATTACH]40991[/ATTACH] Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venturous Randy Posted February 2, 2010 Share #7 Posted February 2, 2010 I don't have a problem with the side stand, but I did take 1/2 inch out of my center stand and it makes it alot easier to get it up on it. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
