Default Progressive suspension

Hi all,
&nbsp\\;
Looking at getting the Progressive 422 and the front lowering springs for my 04' Heritage but need to know if i have to get a new kickstand or can the standard kickstand be altered ??
&nbsp\\;
Any advice appreciated.
&nbsp\\;

I put 422's on my Standard, which lowered it some. I kept the stock Jiffy Stand but do have to lean the bike to the right some to raise it, and lower it sometimes.&nbsp\\;It's not a big deal, to me anyhow.

Ride safe, and often

I don't know much about progressive suspension and I'm sorry that I can't help you out there, but your bike gives me inspiration to spend more money than I make in a year.

Amazing, good job
