Default Lowered bike - shorter jiffy stand

I just finished lowering my bike with the 11" Progressive 412s in the back and their lowering kit up front. But, now when the bike is on the jiffy stand it is not too far from being vertical. And, now I have to lean the bike quite a bit to the right to get the stand up.

I found a couple of places were I can get a stand that is 1" shorter, but they seem pretty expensive. Is this what I need, and does anyone know where I can find them for a good price?

Thanks!

I think I have seen a bracket kit that replaces the original stand bracket for just this type situation.. it didn't require a new stand just swap out the brackets... you might look in J&P cycles, Dennis Kirk, custom chrome, something like that for the bracket...

I'm running 11's in the rear and have lowered my front too - and I'm on the stock 883c stand for over a year w/ no issues. I wouldn't waste the money, just be smart where you park.

Get a stand from an 883 Low, it's about 2" shorter. I just had to order one for my 1200C. I put on 10" struts & relocation brackets. Needless to say, it's low..

Yeah I also have had mine lowered with the same stuff as you for about a year now. Like XL OCD said just be smart about where you park and you will be fine with the stand you have.
