Change kickstand after burly slammer install?
I lowered mine 2" front and rear. Swapped out the stock stand for a 1" under made by Outlaw. Great stand, nice and clean, no springs. The stock stand would have never worked, even with the shorter stand it doesnt have a wole lot of lean. Most aftermarket stands don't lock though, so always leave it in gear, and just be mindful when parking on an incline.

It will require a little grinding on stock forward controls. The lip on the bottom of the control bracket is in the way of the arm, just a little dremel work and it fits. I was having the mounts pc'd anyway since I cut off all the stock stand brackets.

Hmm, ya so I guess I already got the -1 on my bike. I can't find anything else so far. Do you know where they where bending the factory one at? Kinda scares me to do that.

You'd probably be fine with the stock stand, you'll just want to watch leaving it on the stand with the wheel straight or locked to the right. I wouldn't waste the money on an aftermarket one myself.
Wait until you install your slammer kit and see what you have. It will still definitely be able to stand safely with the wheel locked left.

When I added my shotgun and lowered the front 2" I added the deluxe stand to my fatboy. It leans fine with the bike slammed. Even with the wheel straight. Turning the wheel to the right is a bit precarious but otherwise it's good.
