kz1000 center stand to chain clearance needed

After swapping to the 4-1 like many others my center stand is now hitting the chain. I made a quick bracket to stop it but i think under load the chain might still be hitting. Anyone have a stock system to measure  the clearance between the center stand and the chain? Many thanks! 

Your gap looks good Craig.
My 1000 did not come with a center stand, so can't measure.
As long as your drive chain is not too loose, it should be fine.
The chain should move up and down about an inch, in it's tightest spot when rotating the wheel by hand.

You could make yourself a height limiter for the center stand like the one I did on my 650.

 

 

You adjust the height with different length stand off shims over the bolts.

This is another one I made, slightly different. Both have solid rubber bumpers.

 
 

^^^ Good, clean mods. ^^^ Well done!

Impossibly clean undersides too.  Have you some tiny munchkins that scrub the bike overnight?  

Good Ridin'
