WG kickstand ?

I have a 2012 Wide Glide with 4" over tubes and need a kickstand to lessen lean angle when on the stand, can you help?

I have tried most of the online places and still looking, but if you know of an source for a extended kickstand or something to lessen lean angle I'd appreciate the info.

Gonna try a spacer under the stand for now.

Post up some pictures, I love me those Wide Glides! Currently on a '13 WG but on my '03 WG I also installed extended tubes, I never found an acceptable substitute for the jiffy stand and ended up carrying a hockey puck around in my jacket pocket, I plan on going to extended tubes on my '13 as well and figure I'll just use the hockey puck trick again...

Here ya go.
Rear shocks are 1 inch over progressives so the 4" tubes didn't raise the bike much.

That looks beautiful

Nicely done!

That tells me just how sweet it's going to look, I'm waiting on my chrome solid rear wheel and hardware to arrive right now, once I've got that installed and done I'm moving to the front end and doing the extended tubes. Running my bike with the stock rear shocks it's going to look exactly like I wanted it to be... thanks for the picture!

Sorry I couldn't be more help on the jiffy but that kickstand lift block from the thread that b1u posted looks like it might be the way to go... I love this forum!

You might be able to weld an extension on the tab that contacts the frame when the stand is down, but I think the bung king lift block would be easier.

Bike looks great.
