Kickstand Wedge Plate
Looking to stand bike up a bit when on the kickstand. I've seen the wedge kits that go between the stand and the frame for lowered bikes. But with a 21 in. front wheel I have the opposite problem. The wedges don't look like they are reversible. Has anyone put a washer or two between kickstand and frame on the top two bolts to change the angle of the kickstand ?? Does anyone see a reason why that might not work ??

It's usually the opposite of that. The lowered bikes stand up too straight and sometimes need the kit to let it lean back over some.

This. I lowered my RKC about 1" and the lean angle was reduced; the bike stood almost straight up. I put 2 washers behind the top 2 bolts on the jiffy stand bracket to increase the lean angle. it worked perfect.

When the "new chassis" ( 2009 ) came out there were complaints regarding the scooter leaning over too far. H.D. corrected it by providing a wedge ( such as the one listed earlier ... https://www.amazon.com/Bikers-Choice...iglink20376-20 ) that stood it more upright. I've looked for the service bulletin and can't find it.
