side stand too short?

[bioman_imp]

bioman, LakeWylieJoe replaced his 13 or 14 side stand with the 17 side stand which he says is longer, http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=15601

That would be a very elegant option indeed, but not cheap, I am afraid.

I found this cheap-but-effective option from the creative guys (& gals) on advrider.com: a hockey puck! I might give that a try.

So I copied this idea, and cut a hockey puck to the right shape and glued it (with epoxy) underneath my stand. 15 minute job. And so far (having used it for a few weeks now on an almost daily basis) so good. If it every falls off, I'll just glue a new one on.
