Anyone have any ideas or part #. Is a super glide
side stand shorter ? Would it let the bike over a little more ?

 

not sure about the newer models. white brothers made a kit for the 97-07 models. it was a wedge kinda deal that bolted behind the kickstand mounting plate to give you more angle just for this reason. surely someone is making one for the new bikes.

We lowered the wife's 2010 Street Glide 1" front and rear, and it sat nearly vertical on the stand. Messed around for a while looking for alternatives, finally asked the service manager at the dealer. He said that they had never found a good replacement, so they heat 'em, bend 'em, and have 'em rechromed if needed. The wife let them - and it turned out great. The original chrome is discolored (actually gives it some character!) but unless it starts to rust we won't rechrome it. Cost was 1 hour of labor.

 

I think the '09s and later mount the floorboard to the jiffy bracket - that's why a wedge wouldn't work on the wife's bike.....

 

You might also poke around J&P dot com and Dennis Kirk dot com. They have a few stands listed, just not sure which one might work with a lowered bike, though I know I've seen them somewhere. In fact, I thought Harley offered one at one time because of the Profile Low front and rear kits they have, so you might call your parts department and ask.

 

Has anyone tried the superglide stand on a lowered ultra it's stands a little more than a inch lower. But will it bolt on ??

 

+ 1 that was the solution HD mechanic give to a friend of mine.

 

I am afraid it might become brittle and break under the weight

 

That's why they heat it. The trick is knowing how hot to get it, as you don't want it too soft - which is why I didn't do it myself. We've put nearly 5k miles on it since they bent it and parked in some pretty ugly spots with a loaded T-Bag on - and it's not changed noticably. So far, so good.

 

Heating the kick stand will kill the hardening and your bike will end up on the ground some day. If you reharden the stand after bending it you would be good but skipping that step isn't good.
