Default Lowered Bike what about Jiffy stand??
I lowered my Road King an 1" in the front and back and noticed the bike sits really vertical while on the Jiffy Stand. Do I need to mess with Jiffy stand ? or just be more diligent on mu parking spots???

You need a lowered bike Jiffy stand. And they have one. On my 04, I kind of guessing it was designed for the SE bike. That is what is on mine now.

just be diligent. if it worries you, put a washer or two under the two lower bolts to "angle" it out a little more

I did this and it works for me on a SG.

Had the same issue on a lowered 2010 Ultra. Bought the Ness shortened side stand and it was still to upright. Looked at the foot of the stand decided how much angle to bend it, got a map gas torch and heated the foot in a vice till it was red and bent the bottom of the foot. Didn't even burn the chrome off, turned it blue, but it buffed out pretty good.
