Default Center Stand doesn't work either

So the damn Center Stand that HD says will fit the Street Rod doesn't. Its too short, I guess the street models are shorter. I'm batting 1000 today I guess.

I do believe it would have also reduced lean angle.

Probably, did you order that lift you posted about?

Maybe I am missing something, but if you were looking for something that would fit the Street Rod, and it doesn't, why would the stand be too short if the street models are shorter.

From this, I am getting that the stand is short, but the Streets rest lower to the ground, so what is the issue? One needs to be longer or higher up in order for there to be a problem, or am I picturing this wrong in my head?

Could someone please help me understand this?

Street Rods have more ground clearance than the standard Streets.

I did but haven't used it yet. I have a motorcycle jack I have been using to clean the wheels.

no issues with the motor sitting lower than the frame?

What HD has done is market a center stand for the Street Rod that was designed for the Street. The height difference of the Street Rod makes the center stand useless, imagine being 6' tall with a 34" inseam and trying on a pair of blue jeans that are a 30" inseam.

I'm seeing this all over the place. Companies are listing certain parts as fitting both the Street 500/750 and the Street Rod.
