Default Paddock stand

Howdy,
I have Paddock stands that I bought for a Triumph, worked great. I thought I could use them for the FXST, but the muffler is in the way. Anyone out there do any modifications to allow there use, or have recommendations on how to use them to lift the Softail Standard? The front stand should work, but I don't know about the rear.

Thanks.

Are you sure on the front? IIRC on my 2021 Street Bob, the right side (exhust side) forkleg was slighyl longer than the left. The paddock stand would not pick it up level.

Hi Zach,
No, I'm not entirely sure. I wouldn't lift the front unless the rear was already on a stand and solid. But my front stand has adjustable height, one side can be set at a different height than the other.
