Getting ready to lower my heritage 1 inch both front and rear with progresssive suspension. Im wondering if i will need to get the shorter kickstand or modify the one i have ???

 

Shouldn't be a problem. If you drop it 2" in front and add air ride you will.

 

Yes if the conditions aren't perfect where you park you'll notice the stock one wanting to fold up.

 

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.

 

ive been looking all over the internet cant seem to find anyone that makes a shorter one for an 04 flstc

 

Here's one I found: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/7000065

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

 

In addition to what Doc posted, HD also makes a jiffy stand for lowered bikes.

 

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...

 

im dropped 2" and stock kick stand is fine for me
