Does anyone make a kickstand wedge for "raised" bikes?
I'm looking for a kickstand wedge that changes the angle of the softail kickstand to compensate for **raised** suspension.
There are plenty offerings of wedges/kickstands for lowered softails, but I can't find anything that do the opposite.
I was hoping to find a reversible wedge - one that can be used for lowered bikes and flipped around for raised bikes so that the angle of the stand stops the bike leaning too far over.
Any thoughts?

Ya, That will be option 2 for sure. I might just purchase a block of aluminum and trace the pattern onto it and have it machined, will see. Just cant believe there is not more of a demand for this...

My issue is I purchased a Street glide with 21 front wheel and 18 in the back. With that said, the bike sits on the stand with a severe lean angle and I am trying to correct it with a wedge. The problem is that the wedges they sell are for when the bikes are lowered. I have the opposite problem which is not common.

The wedges will also tilt your floor boards too. One thing I dislike about them.
Any body got pic's on their modify one?
