If you are wanting a longer jiffy stand to reduce the lean angle, the longest stand is on the XR1200 and XR1200X models, the H-D part number of the stand is 50124-09BHP.

After a suspension upgrade last year I swapped my stock kickstand out for a Drag Specialties Kickstand +1" which worked great, stood the bike up to less threatening levels.

I had the same issue with mine and found a kickstand from a 2000's roadster on eBay. Easy to install, wasn't very expensive and fixed the issue.

Looks like the XL1200CX uses the same jiffy stand as the XR1200X, they are both taller machines than the other Sportster models.
