I've been a lurker here for a long time, and was always able to find answers to my problems until now. Seems like to my surprise, this problem isnt very common, because i cannot find any info anywhere online, using both this form and google.

I installed 13" drag specialties rear shocks, which raised my ground clearance, and also made my factory kickstand too short. To correct this problem, I installed a drag specialties 1" longer extended kickstand for dyna. Everything bolted up fine, however, I noticed the new kickstand is now rubbing on the drive belt when riding. The inner edge of the wire loop on the kickstand is just barley touching the drive belt. I tried moving my kickstand bumper in different positions to try and keep the kickstand further away from the belt, but no luck. I tried searching for larger/longer kickstand bumpers, but it doesnt appear that anyone offers such a thing.


With so many dynas set up exactly like mine, I can't believe that I am the only one with this problem. It has made me second guess myself, but I am certain I installed everything correctly. I am including a picture of the bike, just for those who might want to see it.

 

You should probably post a pic of the kickstand...would be more helpful to see the actual issue!

 

Welcome to the site.

 

Hmmm...I'm about to install 13.5 Nitron shocks to my STBob, hadn't thought about it affecting the side stand lean. Interested to see your set up.

 

Yeah...but like...nice pipes man

.

 

 

I'm running a Street Bob with 13" rear shocks and the stock kickstand. Just try not to park with the kickstand side downhill and/or in the dirt and it's fine.

 

Most folks use a Bung King kickstand lift block on the stock kickstand.

Now...let's talk about those NAs...

 

Thats nothing a BFH on the offending part of the kick stand can't fix.

 

That, and maybe a little heat to help it along.
