Relocating or modifying the kickstand mount?

Post #1, greeting fellow Ninjetters

I just bought mine Wednesday night and it needs to serve double duty as a street and track bike (first track day is Monday!).

I know those of you with dedicated track bikes cut off the sidestand mount completly but I can’t do that. Has anyone tried modifying the stand/mount or perhaps cut the mount off and moved it’s location inwards to resolve the ground clearance issue?

AFAIK, nope. I have self cleared mine from grinding it down on the track..... I'm learning to put the bike more upright as much as possible though to avoid scraping.

OK, 'll may be the test case for this then over the winter. I'll post up if I make a change.
