Longer kickstand needed
Just put 6" overstock fork tubes on my FXDWG, but does that SOB lean on the kickstand. Does anyone out there know where I can find a longer kickstand or exteder for my 2001 wideglide?

RE: Longer kickstand needed
don't use the term "extender" when looking for a longer stand, you'll get a bunch of hits on something that will give you easier reach with your foot to access it, but not a longer stand.
Also - make sure you check how much longer you can actually make it - might interfere with something back there?
More than likely you'll have to go a bit longer, but mostly change the bend so it will sit more upright with the same length stand.
Gook Luck - wish I had a solution for you - but I don't.

Thanks glide05, I was getting nowhere using the term "extender."
I've been looking all over the internet, I can find all kinds of Sh*# for a softail, but nothing longer for a wide glide. Guess I'll keep looking.

I put a new longer front on my SG this winter. I though I had prepared for everything - but was I surprised when I took it off the jack and onto the stand. Big lean - thought it was going to fall over. It seems OK - but it's on a block in the garage right now. Not sure what I'll do when it's time to ride.
I think the solution is to change the bend. Of course when you do that you'll need the "extender" so you can get to it.
I'll post if I find something - but I don't plan on spending any time with it for a month or 2.
Good Luck -
