Default kickstand

I've noticed that on my 07 ultra classic with the kickstand down the bike leans more than other bikes do.when parked on asphalt the end of the stand digs in.there is so much weight leaning on the stand.does anyone know if there is a longer kickstand which would stand the bike more upright?or any other solutions to stand the bike up more other than a center stand.thanks

Get the jiffy stand coaster 94647-98
This will prevent it from eventually tipping over when it digs into the asphalt.

I agree\\; The bike leans over farther than others. Yes, I use a plate or coaster. That's not the problem. The Ultra just leans over unecessarily far. A 1/2" to 3/4" longer kick stand would be a godsend. It's hard to lift up a top heavy Ultra of the stand sometimes.
