You might try Ken's patented 'putting rear shock springs on the front' idea.
You lose the covers that hold your headlight, but another headlight mount
could be fabricated. He told me that was what he did to help keep from
grinding off the engine mount bolts! (he has WAY too much fun on that
racebike!! Makes me want to do it too!) :-)
Ride it like ya stole it!

Thanks, Ken. Interesting to get a racers perspective on this, and I appreciate the suggestions. I started this thread, and don't necessarily want it to take on a life of its own. However, I kinda want everything, and that's unreasonable. I want the centerstand, as I like having it since I go on lots of longer weekend rides with the bike and like the convenience and for maintenance if necessary. Again, on the left side I grind the sidestand first, by a long shot. I have ground the tang on the sidestand to a razor's edge many times, and have ground off the outside of the flat pad on the sidestand completely. So, removing the centerstand would only solve right turn problems, not left hand ones. Staying on the throttle is certainly a solution. Sometimes, however, when riding unfamiliar roads with blind tight turns, or decreasing radius turns, that is not possible and it is exactly those sorts of turns when my touching down happens most. Perhaps I should follow King Kenny's advise and make the fast turns fast and not try to make the slow turns fast. Hanging off is likely the best solution to this for me, I think. Thanks for the advice. Dennis Jones
