Does anybody who is using the 17" reverse cone shorty mufflers (mine are Emgo, I assume the ones from Mikes will have the same problem) have any tips for how to modify the center stand?
I mounted the mufflers on to the stock headers on my '81, but now the foot bracket of the center stand interferes with the bottom of the fat part of the muffler. I thought I could just bend the stand around the muffler, but after a closer look I'm not so sure.
Has anyone cut off (the majority of) that foot bracket part of the stand? Can you still get the bike up on the stand?
I'd really like to keep the center stand, as I don't really trust my side stand.
