Get someone to help you.
Mark the spot where your stand touches the ground right now. Then put the jiffy in the stowed position and (this is where you need someone helping you) with someone straddling the bike, have them lean it over until it's at the proper resting angle, and measure from the pivot to the mark on the ground. There's your new length.
Or, park it on top of a board or two (1/2" higher, 1" higher) until it leans at the correct angle, and subtract that height from the length of your current stand. But that's not as accurate.
Measure from the pivot to the shoulder of the foot, down the back side of the stand. When you go to buy your new stand, that's a measurement you can check (or someone can check for you) before going through the hassle of spending money, or wasting time.

What sportster do you have and what was the length of the shocks you replaced? Burly I believe is 10.5".eye to eye.
1" under is normally sufficient which is what I did when I installed the burly slammers...but I had a XL1200L with 11.5" stock eye to eye.
I actually do not recall seeing anything other than 1" under and 1" over stock.
