I have a 2014 1200C with 13" rear shocks. After installing the longer shocks I thought the bike leaned a bit too far with the stock jiffy stand so I found and installed an XR1200 stand. Now I don't think it leans enough - it looks like it's too upright and could tip easily.

I noticed a couple of stands for 2004/5 1200 Roadsters on eBay but the sellers don't respond to my requests for a length measurement.

Can anyone out there help out with a measurement?

The distance I'm looking for (see attached pic for info) is from the pivot eye center to the bend.

The stock 1200C stand measures about 7", the XR stand about 11" I think 9" would be just right (Goldilocks:-).

All help appreciated. Thanks!!

 

 

The stand on my 07 Low is 8.25 from pivot eye to that bend. 12.5" rear shocks, bit higher than stock. It leans just fine.

 

Just for the sake of following up, I found a stand from an 04-05-06 Sportster on eBay and it's perfect. It measures about 8 inches from center of the pivot to the bend, an inch longer than the stock stand that came on mine.

Maybe this will help someone with a similar issue. Cheers :-)
