Front stand and lowering the front

Looks like if I lower my front the 10mm, I may not be able to use my front stand. Any one have any idea on this?

I have my forks pulled up 10mm and my pit bull stand works just fine.

As far as the front, loosen the upper and lower triple clap bolts.

Lowering the front will make the bike turn in quicker. Thinking of lowering front and raising the rear.

Well, it's a lil more complicated than that, but yea thats a simple way to put it. Yes, you need to measure it.

Yes you must mesure the amount you pull up the forks. You should go in small steps as it will change how the bike handles. Start with 5mm and if you like that try 10mm. Don't go anymore than that, I only say that because at 15mm my header would hit in right hand turns.

It really doesn't change the look of the bike as 10mm is less than 1\2"
