Hey Burple - I checked HD's sitefor that part number and it doesn't exist? Is it on their site?
I put 11s on my scoot, ended up with a shorter stand from J&P and the damn thing rusted to hell and really looks bad.
Thanks for any info.

I bought my 07 Low rider and had the dealer lower the suspension. They too put on the shorter kickstand... and the bike has very little lean when on the kickstand. The next attempt is to heat it and just bend the crap out of it. For the past 3 weeks, I've been very careful where I park it, and then I leave my helmet on the left hand mirror for some extra weight. Somebody didn't think the kickstand problem through in my opinion.

RE: Kickstand
The problem my wife had was having to lean the bike so far to the right in order to get the stand down. Once down, the bike sat on the stock unit just fine. She is a small person (5'4" and 110 lbs.), and leaning the bike past perpendicular, standing on one leg while searching for the stand with her left foot just wasn't a comfortable situation for her. As a bonus with the new stand, the bend angle makes it a little easier to find the stand also.

RE: Kickstand
My bike was too vertical - no lean at all after adding new springs for the forks and the progressive shocks. I'm 5' and the bike is the perfect height now, but that J&P stand really looks bad. It irritates me every time I look at it. It's worth $80 just to keep my disgust to a minimum.

RE: Kickstand
LOL Great minds think alike...was thinking of that option too. I'll ponder back and forth - at least now I know that I do have the option of a chrome stand.
Thanks again!

Rough sand it and paint it black. Kyrlon red primer first, then top coat with gloss black. Guaranteed to look better than rusted chrome!
