Center Stand + Lowering Link

Center Stand Part Needed.

Straight up, Does it work?

Edit:
So, I purchased a centerstand from a scrapper in Europe off of flee-bay.. But I realize now that he doesn't have the hook that bolts to the bike that the center stand spring attaches to. Does anyone have one of these??
Its #10 in the attached pic



What I've got... actually what she's got (fiancée) is an 09 FZ6R with a Roaring toys lowering link, I think it drops the rear about 1 3/4", The forks are lowered in the triple clamps 1 1/2".

I love having the Center stand on my Fz6 and hate not having it on her FZ6R.

So is it doable?? I understand the with a lowered bike the leverage of the centerstand would change, but I think I could get around that with shortening the legs of the stand if I needed.

Would I run into issues with scraping in a lean... Keep in mind the rider is pretty conservative, and certainly doesn't use a lot of lean angle.

Has anyone tried a centerstand with a lowering kit?

Thanks FORUM!

I made mine myself, used some thick wall 1" tubing and some 3/16" plate.
Not perfect as a factory one but works nonetheless.
Don't use the center stand much seeing I have a manual oiling system for the chain.
You might have seen my Youtube video on the Harbor Freight Tire Changer Motorcycle Accessory, so I do my own tires now, balancing and all.
Here https://youtu.be/uRfFBp3_bNM and here https://youtu.be/lzKZrnlaOho and there are some videos on my exhaust and oil head for a manual oiler there, enjoy.
