Re: THE MUST DO KICK STAND MOD!
Pic of the kickstand may help for an opinion but I think the kickstand mod is about grinding away a small tab on the KS not sure how you feel about doing that to a brand new an expensive, not mention shiny KS

Keep in mind though please if it falls over no one will be looking at the shiny kickstand just at the damage like cracked fairings an broken mirrors an dented gas tanks 
If you not going to do that, be a good idea to do something the factory stand as is, has a nasty habit of fail

What do you mean "do something the factory stand as is"?
I did purchase a new stand from Ball Z Motor's, heres the link to the one I purchased. I also purchased a chrome kickstand assembly.

This might also be a dumb question but do you have the bike up on another stand while doing the mod?

It would be easiest if you have it up on a stand. Unless you have someone holding the bike for you.

Thanks, I figured as much, but didn't want to assume! Is there any particular drimel tip that works best for this mod?

So, yesterday I decided to head up to my friends workshop to get the kick stand mod done. Guess what happens to the bike just after I've shut the garage door? Yep, fell over.
Luckily I was right by it and managed to 'place' the bike on the ground before calling for my neighbours. I did try and get it up myself but that was an epic fail. Just a couple of tiny scratches on the exhaust and alternator cover that you can't see unless you look for them - I'll be tidying them up with some black nail polish tomorrow.
Kick stand mod now complete though.
