Go over to the pic gallery and check out some 800 pics.
Perhaps someone will post a pic of their 800 on the stand.
You can put extensions, add a end piece etc... but you wanna make sure it sits properly when you are riding... and doesn't impact the kickstand switch.

- April 09, 2010, 07:47:41 AM Well, after 5 months of searching the for sale ads and ebay I finaly found a drifter that called out to me. A 2001 800. I have a question though. Well many questions, but for now ,just this one 
The kick stand goes way forward to the point where I have a hard time reaching it to put it up. Is this a common trait of the 800 drifter and if so, what do you guys do to help the situation?
TIA, Tim
