Default Slickstand

So I am lowering my bike with the burly lowering kit 1 1/2 inches in the front and in the rear. I also ordered a 1 inch shorter stand. The dealer said it would sit up almost straight on level ground. I have been looking for a shorter kickstand and this is the only thing i can find. Has anyone ever heard or used this product: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300691010653...=p5197.c0.m619

I had one of these Arlen Ness rear mounted stands for my Heritage because I couldn't reach the kickstand in front of the floorboard. This is the one for Dynas and, if it's like the Heritage, there are already holes in the frame for it and it is in the same position as a bicycle kick stand. This also locks into place which makes it much sturdier than stock stands, IMO. I think it looks really cool too.

If you want, try this first, you can heat the stand right on the bike and bend it a bit to get the right angle. A butane torch will do the job.

If you don't like it nothing lost but a few moments. It has worked for me a few times. Think about it EZ and Free. The weight of the bike will help, just don't bend it too much.

Hey MK, up in the How-to-under-50 thread on page 82, about half-way down, there is a post on trimming down the tab on the jiffy stand that hits the frame so it will allow the bike to lean over more. I am going to try and do this to mine. If it doesn't work then I am getting the JP Cycles shorter stand.

your not talking about bending the entire stand are you? or are you talking about bending the tab on the stand to make it fit better.

This mod works well.I did it to mine about 3 years ago. I did mine in a mill but you can grind it too.
