Default kickstand & lean angle
Today we put an 21'/18' wheel combo on my buddys 2006 ultra. So as i'm sure most of you know it now leans quite a bit more when it's on the kickstand.Is there a fix for this...as he doesn't like the lean angle. ?

They make wedge kits to go behind the mount. They also make different length jiffy stands

In essence, if one lowers the front end they should also lower the rear. However, one can safely lower the rear without lowering the front.
