Default Lowered Heritage Softail, needs different Jiffy stand

We have a 2015 Heritage Softail that we have lowered 2 inches in the rear and about 1.5 inches in the front. When we park the bike on the jiffy stand, kick stand, there isn't much lean to it and if the handlebars are turned all the way to the right, the bike wants to fall over to the right. Does anyone know of a different jiffy stand that we can get that will allow the bike to lean further to the left when on the jiffy stand. Any suggestions or help guiding us to where we could buy a better stand. Thanks in advance for you help.
Dave

Turn the bars to the left instead of the right.

Exactly. My Heritage is dropped, and I have never had an issue. I am only down a inch though. Still when you park, the front goes to the left. You turn the bars to the right to get it off the stand. Makes lifting my Limited off the stand much easier.

Why would you turn the bars to the right? Did somebody not take the motorcycle safety course? lol

Also, mine is dropped 1.5" in the back and 2" in the front with stock jiffy....no problems at all.

Harley makes a stand just for that for your Softail.
