Kickstand puck
How are you getting the puck under the kickstand when the kickstand is flat to the ground when put down. I used to have a space between the ground and the stand on my Honda and then leaned the bike to the left on the kickstand.

Gotta lean the bike to the right to get the stand's foot onto the puck.
A slightly shorter kickstand makes a world of difference on these bikes. The stand from the Deluxe, the Slim, and the original Low Rider S is the shortest stand offered, I put one on my Fat Bob and it's so incredibly much better it's hard to imagine that it didn't come stock that way.

A little bit, but you'd only notice if you were comparing back to back. I mean, it's exactly the same lean angle as a stock Low Rider, Deluxe, or Softail Slim.

I don't see the issue here... or the need to change out the jiffy stand.
I've seen other threads complaining about the jiffy stand and potential (not so good) solutions. How hard is it to lean the bike a skosh to the right to extend the jiffy stand? Same token with a placing the foot on a puck.
