Are you guys keeping the stock kickstand when you lower the front of the bike? I have the rear lowered 1 3/4" and the bike still has a decent lean to it when on the stand. I am about to install Progressive drop-in kit in the front and lower it 1 3/4" also. Will I need a shorter stand?

 

Im lowered 2" front and rear, I have a arlen ness lowered kick stand. It says is one inch shorter. My bike leans enough with the lowered stand but I think the stock one would be to long and kind of sketchy leaving my bike unattended.

Mine is lowered 2" in front and air ride in back. I got the hd short kick stand and its great when slammed.

 

I also use the Arlen Ness 1" shorter kickstand. Some will say the stock one will do but all it takes is one tip over and you'll remember this thread. Ask me how I know.

 

I kept the stock kick stand and it works ****

 

ive been thinking about switching my kickstand also. I front is lowered 1.5" and shotgun in the rear. Can u post up a pick with part #? Thanks

 

me too....

make sure bars are full locked left & no dramas....

 

Yeah, I got to find it. The good thing about the shorter stand is I can leave the wheel facing straight ahead and it still leans enough.

 

I take the stock Jiffy off the bike, chuck it up in a vise (soft-jaws) and give the bottom a few good whacks with a big hammer. Reducing the angle makes the bike lean over further.

 

Im with bobber. Slammed all the way around with own kickstand
