Default How to install kickstand wedge plate??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently "won" a Pro-One Kickstand wedge plate off of Ebay and want to install it on a 1997 Heritage Softail Classic that has been lowered front and rear. Unit did not come with instructions but is new in the package.

How do I install this plate?? Is the thinner portion of the plate to the top or to the bottom?? Been trying to visualize the installation and effect on the kickstand but not having any luck.

*****Thought I posted this in the right section but screwed up and put it in the pictures section instead*****

Thanks,
BK

The thicker part of the wedge should be down, I believe. That would kick the jiffy stand up further when extended.
Hopefully someone who has done it can confirm if that is correct.
