And here people are on this forum worrying about the weight limit listed on the rear rack, lol. In all seriousness, once you start to load up the CT125 with gear beyond a certain weight, you will run into the issue of weight distribution. You'll want to store some on a front rack or attached at the front forks. Even with a reasonable amount of weight on the rear rack the side stand starts to become useless where putting the bike on the side stand causes it to balance between the rear tire and side stand, lifting the front tire, and then tip over and take a dirt nap. Extending the side stand helps with this issue but doesn't eliminate it and that's likely why you'll see some of the loaded up bikes in other countries running a secondary side stand or always parking on the center stand.

It's the same reason that double leg stands (basically center stands) are common on touring and cargo bicycles.

Adding a second kickstand does look like it makes a huge difference and does look pretty cool.

This is something that I will definitely look into if I go this route.

And it almost does 35mph on the flats with a tail wind!

Kinda like this?

As you're surely aware, many many more where that came from!
