Default Hiding Kickstand - FXDWG

Does anyone else have problems with their kickstand hiding underneath the primary? I have been looking for an extension or a new kickstand that will stick out further, but have been unable to find anything that looks good. I was wandering if anyone else has had this issue, and what they did to fix it.

FWIW, try using the heel of your boot/shoe to lower the kickstand...works every time for me with no problems.

That's what I do......just seeing if there is an extension or something like that. I know for metrics they make something like a bigfoot.

I think most bikes come stock with those, so the stand doesn't smack the frame when up. All the ones I've seen have at any rate.
