Default Jiffy stand. Is 8 deg OK

On my 48 with stock shocks the bike would have about 10-12 deg lean. Put on the progressive 12.5" shocks and ended up with about 20 deg. So i replaced the jiffy with PN 50185-04. Now I have 8 deg when on the stand. Seems fine but it looks a lot more upright. Should I be concerned ?
Thanks

I wouldn't think it's a problem unless you can bump it and knock it over the other way. I doubt that's the case though. The only time it might make a difference is if youre parked on a slope.

Thanks for the input. I'm sure I'm concerned about nothing.
