Wheel combo question...
I moved up from a a fat Bob. I love what the King can do and how it rides. I just happen to be short. ha. Thus the mods. I got about 30" on the inseem. And honestly I can read threads all day about wheels combos and what other not-so-tall riders do to make mission, but at the end of the day I find myself REALLY wanting that warm and fuzzy feeling after dropping that kind of money! I dont care if the rearis ever seen, I just need to make it all work!
Dbell - re you able to use the OEM kickstand or did you require a different one once your changes were made?

Kick stand should be fine, if it feels like it is sitting up to straight because you lowered the bike there is a wedge you can buy pretty cheap.
But all touring bikes have the same kick stand part number.
$20 - $30:

MR Hog - yeah I did not think so when I lowered my Fat Bob slightly. But the difference was enough that I had to be extra careful deciding where to park, and the bike sat up at such a higher angle that it once blew over in winds that it would not have if I had not screwed with it... so i am a little more nervious about it this time.
