center stand too low?

[Izzo2]

I've got something scraping on even relatively mild turns. Doesn't seem to be the floorboard, I'm thinking it has to be the centerstand. Anybody else with a centerstand notice this? Seems like it could be dangerous, as there's no give like there is with the floorboard.

Hell yeah a pivot point on the bottom of the bike is dangerous!
Something should be showing signs of road rash on the bottom of the bike..
Man be careful until you get that sorted out.

I'll take a good look at it. If it's scraped up I'll take it off.

Bike runs with two points of contact you bring a third in =trouble,
Have to laugh when you hear guys saying man I scrapped the pegs all the way through the curve- all that equals to is piss poor driving.

That or just having fun! I have titanium caps on the floorboards, throws up some pretty white sparks!

Update- I checked the centerstand and the corner is ground completely off on the right side. Not a mark on the floorboard. Anybody want a slightly used centerstand?

Wee bit of a difference from making the hero caps spark than hearing a gut wrenching metal on road sound how many caps do you go thru? and how good are the sparks(any video)

It is a surprise the first time you scrape them. I found out in Arkansas, and man what a blast!

And I was considering a centre stand, that ends that thought.

I removed mine. Center stands on a rocket makes no sense to me. They are extra weight, in the way, almost non-functional because it takes two or more people to get it up on the stand, useless in dirt, lowers clearance. I still have mine (chrome) if anybody wants it.
