I would just use the center stand from now on instead of wasting more money. But then again, does that also adjust the geometry of how the center stand works and make it more difficult to deploy it?
Out of curiousity, why did you decide to lower it to begin with?
How does the bike perform now that it's lowered? Once in a while I consider doing it to mine. But I probably never will. 3/4 of an inch or so would set me better footed.

I am not trying to be a smart ass, but why not just get boots with thicker soles. I suggested this to another rider,a very short one. He went out and did just that, and problem solved. Nice thing is that the boots don't adversly affect the handling of the bike in any way. As long as you don't get ones with a big bulky toe, they are no problem riding in. After all, how much time do you spend with your feet on the ground? Remember the \"K.I.S.S. rule, Keep it simple stupid. Speaking of KISS, thier boots might work.:th_smiley_rotfl2[1]
Just a thought.

I'm tall enough to sit flat footed, even a little bend in my knee with the stock set up. Just lowered it to get a little different look.
You can have a welder cut the pad off, take about 1 to 1.5\\" off and weld the pad back on. Make SURE he does this at the base of the kickstand! Some have done it in the middle and guess what? The weld broke and the bike toppled!
