Am 69 Short have too many tip overs been riding for years this bike first ever problem need help
What was the net drop at the rear? How about putting it on the center stand? If I lowered my ST an inch I'd never be able to put the bike on the center stand.It is a lot more enjoyable for me to ride.
I took a 2x10 and cut about 18" off the end of the board with my miter saw tipped over as far as it would go (45 to 50 deg). This gives me a bit of a ramp on the board. It goes on the garage floor where I park my bike with a small strip of wood glued and nailed to the underside. Said strip fits into one of the grooves tooled in the concrete floor. The 2x, when laid over the groove cannot slip and I back the bike onto the board, and THEN use the center stand. Easier for me - height challenged that I am.What was the net drop at the rear?

I'm still thinking about some kind of ride-on plywood platform for raising the rear tire a bit to make this easier and that's with the bike bone-stock.
