shorter kickstand 11 FLHR
My King is 1 1/4" lower so now I can flat foot fine. My stock stand is a little to long now. I know some have heated up the stand and bent it but that sounds like it could compromise the strength and the looks.
I can find new ones but man $80 for a kickstand? I cant find a wedge kit for the frame on the 09 and up. I see new ones for $45 but they are all standard length.
So any advice for a good way to go? If I'm not careful how I park it, she will drop to the right, it's just a matter of time...Thanks.

You might not want to use the wedge kit. It will stretch the spring outa shape and the kickstand will drag on left turns. Also, the chrome springs that J&P cycles sells stretch outa shape after a short while too. Once again, the kickstand drags on left turns.
