Since the jiffy stand mount bolts onto the Softail frame, I just made some spacers and got longer bolts moving the stand to the left which has the affect of making the bike sit more upright.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Do you have any pics by any chance?
Thanks for the replys...much appreciated. Besides from adding an extender block (not desirable) , is there an actual longer jiffy/kickstand available? I do recall this being discussed, but do not recall if an answer was found?
I am curious about adding spacers to the actual kickstand mounting bolts, that seems feasible... Maybe even a 1/2" spacer would make a difference.

I do not believe anyone has posted actual lengths of the stands, but people have posted that the FXFB and FXFBS have a longer stand than the other models. The FXLRS uses the same stand as the FXFB and FXFBS.
This is how I extended mine. Wasn't super difficult.

Yes, that's the post I was thinking of, from your thread. It seems to make sense that the FXFB and FXFBS would have a longer stand as the shock itself is longer...but I agree, the part numbers are shared.
If you want to look into swapping jiffy stand legs, here's a table I made up from the parts book
The "Description 2" comes from looking up the parts individually online and then shortening the relevant info.
As you see, all the 18+ Softails use the same bracket, so you should be able to just swap the leg itself to get a longer or shorter length.
Thanks for the table and parts info. So my bike is a FXLRS, according to this I already have the tallest jiffy stand available for the 18+ softails?.... And in that case I'm outta luck on swapping out to a longer stand if I'm reading this correctly.
