Need help finding kickstand solution
Mine is precarious on the sock stand with 2" front and back. I just got a 1" shorter stand I'm gonna install in the next day or two....
Now I'm wondering if it will even help? All those wedge plate things are for the Evo bikes.
OP can you repost after your final solution?

Another option: If you have access to a good welder and some chrome alloy, see if you or someone can fab one up for you with your own customized look to it. You should be able to buff the alloy to a mirrored finish. Let me know if you need a good welder in your area and I'll recommend one to you. SLM
I cut an inch out of mine and rewelded it back, its been almost 3 years now no problems. If you dont weld just get any competent welder to do it 15 minute job. I dont like the wedges because they make your stand stick out a little more in the up position.
Ok, Now im confussed with you guys that mentioned if you turn the bars to the left it will fall over, I could understand that with a short kickstand but with a longer one and the bike lowered I would think the bike would be easier to fall over with the bars to the right.. Mine as it stands it almost straight up but i feel more comfortable with the bars to the left and not the right, it still has the lean to the left... Check it out

I thought about having one CNC'd, but this was a quicker solution. And welcome to the forum, Steve. Thought you would have been here long ago.

It's like countersteering, push the left handlebar to turn left, push the right bar to go right.
My wife has had her Lowrider FXR lowered in the front 1-inch and hers stood upright also, so bought the wedge on "Denniskirks" website...no problems now...u can adjust em as needed. I might add they are very inexpensive at $30.00 bucks with shipping.
