Default Lowering my Limited, but...

This spring, my '16 FLHTK is gonna get a new set of 12" Legend shocks, and a Progressive fork lowering kit. This post isn't really about the suspension. I'm concerned that once the bike is lowered, it will harder to put the kick/jiffy stand down on anything except perfectly level ground. Does someone make an aftermarket stand that's a little shorter? My Google-Fu is weak, I haven't been able to find one.

my Limited is lowered. The stock stand is not an issue at all.

Ahh I didn't know that, I should have looked on Ronnie's HD Microfiche, guess he doesn't need one.

‘16 FLHTK here with 11” Pro Action shocks. Stock Jiffy stand no problemo.

By the way, just tried out my new Street Glide seat and that put me even lower into the bike. I’m lovin’ low!

The limited low's jiffy stand is a touch lower. It also has a longer bar to push the stand down with.
I put progressive 944 on the back and put the progressive 1" lowering kit on my forks after I had a time or two where I wished the bike would tilt a little further when on the jiffy stand. Works great now.

Not a problem. Easy mistake. It took me three/four times at two different dealerships to realize on the parts breakdown they only show one of the jiffy stands, the one on the bike you're looking up, so it looks like there is only one.

When I saw an FLHTK and an FLHTKL side by side I realized the extension was different so went digging a bit more and there it was
