I have a 99 M900. stopped by a friends place, the second day I had aquired my Sweet Heart. Stopped on what I thought was firm dry ground. Placed the kickstand down, firmly locked to the forward position. Started to swing off, stand sunk, and let my Baby touch the lawn. No harm, except the pucker string, that holds my arse shut, almost snapped. Found a 3"square of 1/4' alum. plate. velcrowed it on the flat spot behind my tail light. I now use the center stand as much as possible. The Foggy Monster S4R, I got a month ago, has nothing but a side stand. It's a nightmare on Concrete. The "Work of Art", leans over to much for my taste. Guess I'll find a thicker piece of alum.!! Toppino Ed
