1. Has the kickstand changed from Gen 1 to gen 2, or for any model year(s)?
2. Also, do I need specifically a "ZX-14" or "ZX-14R" kickstand, or are kickstand mounting systems and dimensions "standardized" across Kawasaki sportbikes, or even ALL Japanese sportbikes?
I want a different than OEM kickstand, for my 2017 ZX-14R, made of aluminum, non-adjustable, for these reasons:
- Lighter weight
- More corrosion resistant, since the kickstand, especially its base, is obviously very vulnerable to corrosion
- Non-adjustable, as that SHOULD result in a lighter kickstand, since it requires no moving parts and the fasteners needed to secure them in any position.
I am also concerned about potential quality of many of the less expensive Chinese kickstands.
What is my range of reliably safe choices?
