kickstand/ jiffy stand issues on a FXDX
Im returning my FXDX back to stock height as the previous owner lowered it for some reason.
Of course now Im having issues with the kickstand as the bike leans way over.
I cant figure out if he put a shorter FXD kickstand or if he bent the stock FXDX one for the lower height of the bike.
Can anyone tell from these pics if the stand is a lower FXD or a bent FXDX?
Im trying to decide if I should just bend this one to make it work, as I cant seem to find a FXDX length stand anywhere.
UPDATED: Thanks for the help. Found a new stand.

I agree about all the different names. Im looking for a new one. But like everything stamped HD the price of a stock one is crazy money.

Bend it some, trial and error don't go past where you need it. there is no special alloy here, it's just a piece of cold steel. I would have suggested heating it up but that will dis-color it. If you notice it starting to lean over again in the future get a new one asap.
