Default 18/21 kickstand

Just installed 21/18 hogpo on 08 SG. With the higher center of gravity and height the bike really leans. Seems to be alot of pressure on kickstand. Am i just being paranoid?

I have the same issue but I don't think the kickstand will have any issues.&nbsp\\; My bike will be lowered tomorrow and I will tell you if it doesn't lean so much.

The Jiffy can hold it. Mine does the same thing, leans quite a bit with the 18/21. I thought my jiffy stand was bad/bent when I&nbsp\\;parked my ride next to a stock 07 and noticed how&nbsp\\;different it was.&nbsp\\;I have searched high and low for a wedge that bolts to the bottom and raises it a bit. Any other means to change the lean angle?

Check the new J&amp\\;P Cycles book, page 914.&nbsp\\; They have kickstand angle plates.&nbsp\\; I used it on my lowered road king and it worked great!

I just dropped my forks 1" yesterday. It helped the handling with the big wheel on the front, and got the jiffy stand to sit very close to stock. It doesn't rest on the tip anymore.

the product you are referring to i believe is for lowered bikes with not enough lean.

after I put the 21x18 combo on my ultra, I lowered it 1.5 in the front and 1 inch in the rear.&nbsp\\; The lean angle seems ok.

After I changed to Progressive Suspension on my wide glide it leans more. I really dont worry about it though. At times, like a windy day, I think it is better because it is stable.
