Kickstand modification.

For ya'll that have lowered your scoots 1 1/2 to 2 inches (RK classic in particular). Have you had to modify the kickstand to accomodate it. I'll be lowering mine later. Just want to get an idea. Thanks

I had a lowering kit on mine and never had a problem with the stock jiffy stand and now I have air ride and I slam it when I park so it's almost on the fender and still No Problem.

My bike is in having the rear end lowered today...from what I've been able to gather, the jiffystand is only an issue once you lower the front. If you look at Harley's profile lowering kit for the forks, they come with a shorter stand.

I lowered my 2002 RKC 2.5" in the rear and it sits pretty straight up and down. I'm trying to figure out if the kickstand can be modified or if i should just buy a wedge plate.
