Same here.

I've got 11,5" rear shocks and 1" lowering kit in front. FXDCI. No need for a shorter kickstand.

I heated mine up with a welding torch and bent it but I don't see why a lowering kit would require this.

well the bike stands up straighter than it did before the short shocks and as long as im parked on a flat surface it will be fine but i somtimes find myself parking on a incline and i dont want the bike to fall over,plus i have to lean the bike to the right more than i want to to get it off the stand.. it will probably be ok but im thinking safty for me and the bike ...lol...dont want to walkout and see it laying on its side ..

I havent heard of anyones bike falling over after it had been lowered, but honestly $100 plus for a shorter kickstand seems like a waste, then again its not my coin

good luck
