Any solutions that will work on the older bikes?

I'd love to have a slightly longer kickstand. Now that I raised the bike height I really miss the lowered "off the jiffy stand" effort

I believe the actual arm of the jiffystand can be replaced from a 12" to a 13". I recall doing this some years back when I extended a front end on an FXR and changed the rake, but not to where the lower frame rail was parallel to the ground. Or, if you're the mechanical type, you can remove the arm yourself, cut it, weld in a short piece and have it rechromed. Necessity is the mother of invention you know.

If the little wedge to change the angle of the stand is b/o from HD you guys might scour regular aftermarket parts sources.  HD is not reinventing the wheel here.  Little angled wedges have been out there for decades for bikes that have had their height changed.

Welding the kickstand would worry me a bit.

Many moons ago I had a kickstand break while starting my sporty (left knee on the seat style). No damage to the bike except the kickstand, or so I thought.

Next day while riding I heard a rattle I couldn't pin point. Then just as I noticed the rattle was coming from the mirror, the glass popped out and did a slow motion slide down the top of my custom painted gas tank. result was a nicely shaved 1" wide strip of paint remover.

Called my dealer today with the part number listed here an got it ordered but of course Its back ordered. When I bought my SE ultra the highway pegs were not on it and the dealer was going to charge me to order some I had to show them the picture on the Harley website before they would acknowledge that the bike should have had them. Amazing the salesmen didnt know what was suppose to be on their top of the line bike

Part no. is 50096-09.  I think it is actually a new mount for the kickstand, not a new kickstand but not sure.

It's not in the website yet......

Just remember when you have the shocks all the way in the lowered position with the kickstand upgrade the bike may sit to UPRIGHT!

Here are my 13"'s on the 09 SEUC

These are the adjustable Aldan's from Arnott.

The adjustment is the little knob on the top of the shock.

Put almost a thousand miles on them this weekend at CHL.

I know but your dealer can order it for you.  They are currently back ordered.

This is an interesting thread. Some of us bemoaned that fact that our '05s did not lean enough. Made it tough when backing in to park on a street w/ a high crown. So much so that we shimmed the stand to increase the lean angle. Guess it all depends on how long your legs are and how high the seat is?

That's right!

They look great mi amigo Chip....I had a big problem with mine last Sunday. I spoke with Adam and I will stop by there on my way to Daytona on Thursday....They suddenly went up without  any reason and couldn't control them. The only way to stop the noise in the compressor was taking the fuse off. So now is all the way down and can't go up...............
