Jiffy stand for a right hand application?? How bought just a kick stand
Does Harley have or is there an aftermarket source that has a right hand jiffy stand? I need one on my bike so I can get it closer to the left wall. Surely the Britts have one over there? Maybe a hydraulic dual post system like on the Indy cars. Sure this has been brought up but not lately and it's winter...almost... 56 here...got to go ride now.

If not, maybe a center stand would do. Probablly even get you closer to the wall than a right side stand. Not sure even the brits used right side stands, as even they mounted their horses from the left, which is why our motorcycles all have left side stands. I bet JPCycles has a small custom stand you could make work, but i bet it's weld on only.

Doable but it would get kinda funky with the master cylinder & pedal linkage in the way, at minimum you'd have to fab up and weld a 3 holes tab on the right side of the frame and get creative with rework and fabbing again to make it all fit & work right. I'm sure somebodies gone down that road at least a few times.

I had kind of the same need, except I needed for the bike to stand up straight, so I bought a wheel chock.
In the above pic it's sitting where my Jeep usually sits. Just parked there so I could clean on it easier than when it's against this wall:
I can park all three of our vehicles in the garage when it's standing up straight over there, and as long as my wife pays attention and doesn't get too close to the bike when she's backing in, I can still get the bike in and out without having to move either of the cars. Probably one day I'll gouge the drywall with a highway peg or something, but even if I do, it's still better than any other alternative I have out here. If the bike was leaning on a Jiffy stand, it would take up more room, and though it would probably still fit in the same place, it would be leaning towards my wife's driver's door and she'd be hittin' it every now and again. The chock is narrower than the bike, so it was a perfect solution for us.
Note: Our garage is a bit wider than a standard 2-car garage is, but since you were talking about wanting to put yours right up next to a wall, I figured this might help you even in a smaller garage.

I have one of these.
It works great, especially when you need to work on the left side
of the bike.
It isn't permanently attached, just hooks over the left side frame rail.
