Well that looks the same position as mine from the side, so it maybe the rear ride height making it lean so much. Will get it sorted one way or the other, emailed Griff and he's said the kettle will be on when i pop over next, prob sort it with a blob of weld (as mentioned above)...may just be me but obviously won't be helping myself until i post pics of bike in it's current state so you can see the lean

thanks for everyones input...watch this space!

What Chabby said. The firestorm stand is good but it kicks a little too forward so a blob of weld (then careful filing) will bring it back and reduces the flex/stress when the bike is on the stand.

Thanks for this

Yes very similar to mine. As mentioned earlier a blob of weld will just stop the forward reach of the leg,but looks fine to me.

Even rarer, keeping them on.

Even after Griff put the blob of weld to stop the stand going too far forward still doesn't look right and leans too much so i'm on the lookout for the Fireblade stand, saw it on his Milie and it looked well sturdy!

Still no idea why it leans so much
