Anyone think their sidestand is too long, leaving the bike perilously upright? I lowered a dirt bike years ago by mounting 17-inch rims (before you could buy a supermoto), and that made the sidestand way too tall and the bike way too tippy. This bike kinda reminds me of that (before I cut down the stand). Anyone else feel a little nervous in all but the perfect parking spot? I do have a center stand, but would still like to trust the sidestand a bit more. Thanks.

When I first got my 2015 R1200R I felt that the stand was too high also. Yes Yes I know that you have to be careful where you park and monitor the lean angle etc, but its always an extra check to go through when parking. Last year on a trip my riding companion was parked a little too upright when stopped at a scenic look out and a gust of wind took his new RS down. Ouch. $$$. I found a welder who would take a bit off (ideally from the base) but I never had the time to follow through.
