Default Longer jiffy stand?

I can't seem to find much information on stock jiffy stand lengths. I have a 1200R with 13" shocks. It really leans over alot and I'd like to get a longer one.. but I dont want to get the wrong size. Any recommendations?

You might want to check with your dealer on this.
The XL1200R would have had the longest stand offered on an XL sportster in '05.
The stock rear shocks appear to be 13" from the factory.
I've never seen a way to measure them to compare the height/length.

Yea, 05 is my year. I bought the bike this year so I can't tell if the previous owner upgraded. I even shortened the shocks by half inch and still leans alot.. In the shed i have a block of wood i put the stand on.

You can buy aftermarket extensions and blocks for jiffy stands. Also, check out this thread:
