I got 21/18 Renegade rims and don't think the stand in gonna give way. I think you will be o.k&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I trip when I put the bars to the right!!! Its moves a little bit but its cool.

Does any one make a kick stand wedge that is just the opposite of the ones for lowered bikes? Instead of being thick at the bottom, it needs to be thick at the top. I have been trying to find one to work with the 21/18" wheel issue. If I had the layout of the mount I would make one.

just lower the front the 1-2 inches and the issue goes away, and the bike handles better IMO, i added the Ness kit on my bike it was 49 bucks, added some thicker oil while I had the fork apart, way better now! and no more lean
