Crossbones Kickstand
Anyone know of a good fix for the kickstand on the crossbones? The footrest just about blocks the whole kickstand in the down position. I can just barely snag the thing with my toe. I'm 5'8 so, not that short. Is there a way to adjust the kickstand, or an aftermarket that is a little easker to bring back up?

Check with your HD parts source. Dealer or whomever.
HD sells a kickstand extension that a friend of a friend bought for his Dyan I believe.
He installed it in 5 minutes in the dealer parking lot.

Just need to find the appropriate one for your Xbones if it is available yet.

Man Im 6ft and i just fit flat footed, when im holding the bike up, dont know how you guys under 6ftdo it comfortably. As far as the kickstand I think its because its more out of sight then not getting to it, if you know what I mean, really cant seeit when your trying to get it down.

Im 5'8". I took a pair of Channelocks and bent the tab on the kickstand back towards me so i could reach it. Cheap fix.

I'm 5'10 and had my X Boness lowered and replaced the standard seat springs with 2", its mage alot of difference, but still have to do the splits to reach the stand, pushing the floor board up helps
