'full seating' of the tab into the frame location... so I sanded a little of that away as well.
I did exactly the same thing and also noticed that a bit of the weld kept it from seating completely. You don't have to grind much off the kickstand. I think I took off about 3/16".

Scariest part was getting it off the lift when I was done. In order to get the lift under the bike after I lowered it I had to ride the bike onto a couple pieces of stacked plywood under the front and rear wheels. So when I let it back down onto the plywood with the "lowered" kickstand it REALLY leaned over. I think a little poop came out...

I lowered my SB front and back with progressives..bike was too upright on the stand but did the cheapo mod with the kickstand like this...

Found the link

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...step-pics.html

But I did'nt need to touch the frame..bikes now back to normal lean..

Just a footnote*** don't know if when you do an oil check without the lean the measurement reads wrong ???

Can't offer anything for the kickstand, but just wanted to say that you've got a really nice looking bike.
