Sucks about your accident and I'm glad your ok, but I'm confused reading this. is your bike that low or does it have something to do with the GY6 centerstand. I removed my centerstand but left the mounting bracket attached (like you described) but have never had an issue with the mounting bracket or kickstand contacting ground on turns. This is common?
the bike is super low from the weld-on mounts and the atr rear shock. I'll take photos in the morning and post up.
I really can't believe how lucky I am to not have any serious road rash on my body, including my hands. I normally ride with leather gloves, but I left them at the house today. Zero rash, just a small nick from something unknown. No neck pain, back pain ( I landed on my back, then slammed my head backwards on the pavement) or any notable bruising. I estimate that I was going at least 25mph under hard acceleration when the centerstand mount caught the pavement.
Wear your full face helmets every time. I guarantee the outcome would have been significantly worse if the stars were aligned any differently.
