So here is a pic of where it is rubbing

And just so everyone can see what hole my lowering links are on:

This pic shows the bikes height at that setting; the kickstand is on a brick so you can see the height without the bike leaned over.


So I'm thinking about either putting a small piece of black duct tape over that area and allow it to rub on that instead of the fender. Any thoughts on this? Either that or I will just raise it up half an inch to the next setting.

If I raise it up, that makes the Lowering Kit pointless because the Roaring Toyz kickstand will no longer be needed. That was the most expensive part of the kit (over $100)... I don't understand why RT even makes this kit if it can't be used on a setting that would require a new kickstand without the tire rubbing on the fender.
