Default '25 Sportster S Side stand

Anyone have a '25 with the ridiculously short side stand?
Any options to lengthen it a couple of inches or so.
I'm sure glad it's only 500lbs, as it can be real tough to upright under certain conditions.
I had a '22 "S" for a short time but I don't remember it being this short.
thank you all.

Thanks for the info. I checked it out and it's .8 inch thick. This bike would need three of them lol.
I just bought a front wheel stand from Motea. Constands front stand easy plus black.
I have not tried it yet but the front holder looks plenty wide.
it's suppose to fit up to a 180 I think. Seems good quality and fairly priced.
USA stock also, so no tariffs.
Thanks again, I will keep shopping around.
BTW American Motorcyclist just did a road test on the '25, and early into the read
they complained about the side stand!

I can't imagine they changed it for '25, as it's always been short. I didn't think you could make it too much longer and still have it fit the body work. My little stand is enough that it hits a little.
