Default Shorter Kickstand 2000 883

I just put a lowering kit on my 2000 883 for my wife because she's bloody short. I dropped the bike probably 3 to 4 inches total and she can flat foot it perfectly now (yay!). The issue now is that the kickstand is way too long. I have to lean the bike a good 20º to the right just to put the kickstand down, and when it is down the bike sits almost perfectly vertical, making it super unstable. So to the question, has anyone had a similar experience, and if so how did you pick a new kickstand. Any suggestions on what length/brand kickstand to use would be greatly appreciated.

What is your current shock measurement eye-to-eye? Don't know what height you started with so unable to determine what a 3-4" drop would mean.

I have a Low which had 11.5" stock shocks and installed 10.5" Burley shocks. Used a 1" under 7" kickstand to provide more lean...not the same but similar to this one.
