That isn't the problem. See post number 7 above.

I've gotten used to mine. Not a great design.

The Jiffy stand has been the envy of other motorcycle mfg's forever. HD must have saved a nickel on these import style pieces of sh#*t. Like OldMike, I smoothed the edges of the pad, a little better, but still a POS.

I wonder if maybe cranking some preload into your monoshock wouldn't help so you don't have to lean the bike so far to the right to deploy the 'iffy- stand.

I had the same problem with my lowered FX and simply bought a one inch under stand.
Give it a try.

Good question. I was thinking the same thing, has anyone installed one of these on their bike? In one of Bagger Nation pictures it show's how the kick stand locks into their fixstand.
