Hi. I lowered the rear end 1.5 inches using Kuobo link (KDX2). I lowered the front by 3/4 inch.
How much of the side stand should I cut?
Thanks!

I don't know if you will need to cut the stand. Because the stand is mounted to the swing arm the distance shouldn't have changed that much. Have you tried the stand the way it is?

Agreed. I didn't have a stand problem with my lowered E that now belongs to KDXButterfly. The kickstand was however pretty bent which shortened it some.

Yeah, the uncut stand is usable. But the bike is almost standing straight. I'm afraid if the rear tire get flat, the bike would tip over.
I guess I could bend the kick stand mount a little.

I've had that happen.
I honestly started thinking someone was sneaking into my shop and tumping my bike over in the night.
I can be dumb AND paranoid.
