Breakout fork change

    I've got the forks swapped out for the Wide Glide forks giving 2" over.

    In turn, it raises the frame and now I get heavy lean from the original kick (jiffy) stand.

    Has anyone changed their forks as well as their kick stand and if so, which stand did they use? 

    I'm having trouble working out which stand will swap over easily and stand the bike upright a bit more.

    I'll did the same mod and swapped the jiffy stand out for a stock softail one - the stealership will help you.

    if I recall there were two types 1 was over $200 and the one I installed was about $90

    easy fix, although you'll probably lose some skin installing the spring :)

    Looks good!!!

    Did you do the Ricor upgrade or just the fork tube swap out?

    How does she handle????

    Not sure mate. It was done when I got it.
    Handles fine. I went from a Road King, so it took a bit to get used to. All good now tho.
    Never scraped and using all the rear tyre.
    I love this bike.

    Would you have the p/n for the stand?

    Sorry, just saw the replies....Sugar, no p/n......Richo89, the job was done before I bought it......from what I hear about the scraping, a very worthwhile investment.
