Anyone have problems getting down the kickstand on a Wide Glide?
I have a 2000 WG and I have had the worst time trying to get the kick stand down when I am getting off of the bike. I just went today and bought the jiffy extension but it looks like my extension is too big for the kickstand. I mean it is the right part it just looks a bit odd.

It was MISSION IMPOSSIBLE for me to get that jiffy stand down on my 07 Low Rider. Try as I might, I just couldnt hook my heel on it, and hold the bike up at the same time. I was on my tip toes in the first place. So over the winter of 2007-2008 I had them lower my Low Rider with 11" progressive 430's AND add the extension to the jiffy. Now I can put both feet flat on the ground and grab that stand extension with no problem. Made a world of difference. Yea, I dont like the looks either....but better that than looking like an IDIOT trying to get the stand down in a crowd.
