Thank you for replying.
Looking at getting a gen 1 1000.
I'd probably Jack the rear up at little too.
Welcome to the forum. Currently running a 50mm jack-up for the last 7 or 8 years. Improves the steering no end providing you’ve got a decent rear shock. You’ll need to modify a side stand to make it a bit longer, as the lean will be a bit extreme. Also the rear wheel will touch the ground when on the centre stand. An off cut of plywood under the stand remedies this. I even take the ply with me on a trip to aid chain lubing, doesn’t take up any room.
