Your name reminds me of Michael Jackson...

"Shi-MONA"

Sorry, couldn't help but make the correlation.

Thanks! That sounds like the safest idea if I can find them.

I'd be leary on making the stand taller, or putting a longer one on for stability reasons. Consider installing a center stand. Thiers a few companies that make a kit that will bolt onto a dyna. They're not cheap though.

If she has a hard time just getting the bike up off the side stand I really doubt she'd be able to put the bike on a center stand. Maybe I'm stupid but I've never been good with center stands. Must just not have the technique.

Do Dyna's just lean over more than others?

I was looking at my Street Bob and I thought it leaned over a bit too much also.
It's an 09 and even looking at the picture it does lean over some.
Are Dyna's just like this or what? Anyone have any problems cuz of this?

You could probably do it with a couple of washers under the left side of the mount. Just be careful that you don't stand the bike up so straight that it gets tippy.
