Default "Lowering" my kickstand

So I recently put the Burly Slammer kit on my Dyna Lowrider (which came out awesome)... but now my kickstand won't lean at enough angle to give me confidence about it staying up. Looking for suggestions here.

Look for a 1" under stand. Google it or go to J&P Cycle or Dennis Kirk.

You can also grind down the "resting" tab on the stock one. There is a thread here somewhere...

I install the Arlen Ness lowered kickstand, http://www.jpcycles.com/product/223-079 Up side,,Nice Chrome,,,Down side,,, Footprint is smaller then the Harley ,118 Deg days in AZ and it's going to sink in the asphalt and the toe loop is about 1/2 the size,,,Could not find it with my toe with the swing arm bag on,,So I added a Harley extender on it,,Had to modify it to fit the shorter loop,,,But Im happy with it,,LOL

I also have the Arlen Ness -1 kickstand since I don't have a grinder to mod the OEM stand. Also why I couldn't mod the extended that I had like the one above. So I just bent the tab a bit. Got used to finding it with practice.
