New suspension makes the CBR stand upright a bit too vertical.

One of the suggestions was to grind down the side stand or the stopper.

So I've circled them on a side stand I bought.

How much do I need to angle grind off or just trial and error? (I only have a hand operated angle grinder and can't exactly do precision grinding)

Thanks

how does it mount on the bike, can you pack out the lower fixings to alter the angle more ?

Don't touch the lower circle, grind the upper circled bit about 2mm initially then 1mm at a time and keep trying it. How even you make it isn't all that important because it'll stop when it touches the first little bit but try your best to make it tidy.
