Im going to cut a 1/2"+ out of mine when I have time and reweld it then powder it. I do my own powder coating.
Its too low for the stock length. Makes me nervous. Wish it could just rest on the frame with no stand.

You may want to spend more time searching the J&P, Dennis Kirk and Kuryakyn sites.

OP - you will not need to change kick stands.
Branner - I'm lowered 2" up front and Shotgun in back - I'm still using stock stand

I tend to agree that the stock kickstand will be fine. I am lowered 2" in rear 1" in front and for 5 years I had stock kickstand, no worries...THEN....I saw a killer deal on a lightly used Outlaw springless stand for lowered bike...looks and works great, a real quality piece, but really now too short. I shimmed mount a bit but need more yet, which means a milled plate, new bolts etc. I will live with it...
