Just an update on the Shock extenders that I mentioned in the previous post. Having fitted these to the TOP of the standard adjustable shocks over the weekend, we went out for a test ride and I'm pleased to report that the problem of the center stand grounding out during hard cornering is now a thing of the past. Even with the shocks adjusted to the middle of the 5 settings (as we travel with luggage) the center stand still does not ground out and still works fine. The 2cm extra clearance that the extenders give to the ride height is a perfect fit and requires no additional tweaking of the center stand in order to compensate for the extra clearance, which I am very pleased about as I really didn't want the extra hassle!
