I've got an arlen ness, rear mount adjustable kickstand, and even at it's lowest setting, the bike is almost totally upright when I have it lowered all the way.

Anybody found a shorter kickstand out there?

 

Yup,

Buy the H-D jiffy stand for lowered bikes. That's what's on mine.

 

Branner, what's the total difference in the kickstand from the stock one? Is it just shorter? It's kinda pricey, but a necessity

 

The Harley lowered kickstand is lower. I have the Cross Bones stand on my softail with the air ride. If your bike is nearly straight up and down just make sure the bars are turned to the left. when you park. I ran the stock stand on my bike for nearly 3 years with an air ride. Never an issue unless I tried to park with the bars straight or tuned to the right.

 

Dr, now i'm lost. Is the cross bones stand lower than the regular ones? I'm about to slam the *** end and lower the front 1 1/2". I've been wondering about the kickstand issue.

 

Here is what I have but with this you'll need to drill and tap the frame...





Mine is not adjustable like this one but closest I could find on ebay...

Heat that thing up w/a torch and bend it.

 

Put one end in a vise and use a piece of pipe on the other end and bend it slightly... I did... or ill trade ya lol

 

I just swapped out mine stock kickstand with an Arlen Ness 1" under kickstand. I believe it was $70.
