Sounds like the stock suspension is warn out.I can't use my center stand with the stock suspension,it's to softIf you have factory size tire it should be 130-70-17 rear and 110-70-17 front.I doubt anyone would put smaller tires on a GS.V&H ignition Advancer has been out of production for a long time.You can contact Bob Broussard here or at bobbroussard@x.cx . He only charges $5 to mod your factory ignition rotor,but most people give him a little extra because he basicilly uses the $5 for return shipping.He is located in California.if you have an 01+ the ignition rotor can't be modded, but the plate behind it can be mod to give the advance you want.

It is the 04+ that cannot be modified.

Broussard is the man.  A true gentleman, and all of that.   :thumb:
