Extreme lean angle

I've fitted a perky's tilter thingy ma jig to my Falco and it's gone from being almost upright to an almost 45 degree angle. I'm wondering if i've gone a bit too far or maybe I'm just need to get used to it? What do you guys reckon?

Looks fine to me (and a long way from 45 deg, not even 30 deg I'd say!)

... black falco's are dead sexy - whatever angle they're on... hmm, el cheapo carbon fibre front fender, black bagster cover, franken-falc' tail and I'll get there yet. Will anyone hate me for fantasizing about my (christmas-pinched) black firestorm? :smt002

Oi! that is a sexy falco but not because it's black, because it's a bronze one.
You sure you didn't bump your head

The angle does look a wee bit extreme when compared to mine.
UK stand left. US stand right

Had the same thing when i used one I jacked up the rear of mine with a mille shock, this made things far worse so I ditched it altogether and went back to the standard bracket with a modified Honda fireblad stand, perfect now :smt001
