Help! Lowered my 2011 RGU 1" on the front end and now with the standard jiffy stand it almost stands straight up or close enough that you would have to be careful not to tip it the other way. I bought a 1" shorter stand from Arlen Ness but it didn't change the angle hardly, put the stock stand next to the shorter stand and they both rested the near the same spot. It's shorter but did not change the angle, if so it's hard to notice. All in all the stand need to set higher IMHO.

A wedge kit wouldn't work because it would also change the angle of the floorboard.

Does anyone happen to know the stock angle degree of the bike on the stand?

I remember lowering my RKC and something came with the kit to adjust the stand, HD says the no longer provide that kit. Seems strange that they too offer a front end lowering kit and you would think they too are aware of the not so safe angle the bike would sit.

Anyway looking for anything to solve the issue, bending the stand is not one of them

 

My 07 RK Custom still leans way over, and my bike is lower front and rear check to see if some jiffy stands are shorter from the factory.

 

Went with a shorter one from arlen ness, didn't change much at all, if the stand was higher, it would allow the bike to lean further, that's the way I see it. The stand bracket and the floorboard are all in one.

 

Got the same problem!

 

bend it

 

the kickstand wedge would only affect the floorboard slightly..i don't think it would be noticeable..only other choice would be bending the stock stand to lower it

 

I had the same problem when I lowered my RK. 1" in front and 2.5" in rear. It stood straight up. luckly, I was next to it when a strong wind came up on the left side of the bike. I caught it in time. Anyway, I bought the wedge and installed, using the stock jiffy stand without any problems or floorboard tilt.

 

I just ordered this one today. Will post how it is when i get it.http://www.eglidegoodies.com/id131.html

Thanks Badknees, thought that's what I was getting from Arlen Ness, but as stated earlier, it was pretty much a waste of $85, if there was a change in the angle it was certainly not enough to improve the situation.

Please keep me posted because I'm in a tight spot as they would say.
