Hello all, this is my first post. Great Site. I just picked up my first Buell last weekend. Its a 2003 XB9SL. The bike has plenty of mods so I'm not sure if the bike still has the original Kick Stand. Anyway, with the kick stand down the bike remains nearly vertical. I street park the Bike, so this scares the heck out of me. Has anyone come across this issue on a 2003 XB9SL or any other model? Thanks everyone.

It may have the wrong side stand / kick stand on it. The side stand for the Low model is shorter.

Some pics may help but my M2 sits fairly straight. Depends on what your used to.

I did some quik measuring and cyphering. With the front wheel straight mine leans about 9 deg. from vertical on a level surface.

Thanks for the input guys. I will keep an eye out for a lowered stand. If anyone knows where I can look for one please feel free to let me know.
Thanks
