Default lowering kickstands?

Can someone recommend a good quality lowering kickstand? I have the burly slammer kit and if the the wind blows my bike might fall over. Id like to prevent that lol. Thanks guys.

i went with a simple -1 kickstand from j and p cycles.
super easy install, if you have a second pair of hands
100% function, never worried about my bike tipping over.

you can shave the tab on the stock stand where it makes contact in the keeper that is an easy way to do it... you can also go with a lower kickstand

here is a stock stand on the right with a shaved keeper tab, and a -1 lower kickstand, I took about 1/8 off the tab, and got more of a lean. i was just not pleased with how the throw of the stand worked out when trying to put the kickstand down. I got a stand off ebay for like $20 that was -1, works great!




did have to move my frame bump so the stand was not on the frame

Is the -1" kickstand actually a different length or just a different bend/angle? Has anyone else had troubles or didn't like the shaving of the tab?
Of course if you can find the same deal as Joe, you might as well go for that!

I had the 1" shorter from ness , I still didn't like the way it sat. I ended up cutting and welding the stock one in to get it the way I wanted.

Right now i have to lean the bike to the right to get the kickstand all the way out, otherwise it hits the ground. Will a -1 do that?
