These are the worst kickstands in the world!

Without that, it will be unstable. That explains your current setup. You can cut it down to fit, just don’t cut too much, may not need the condor if you can make it work.

I think I can just flip that back wheel piece around, it is shorter on one in

I'm going to try this again. My first piece was too thin.

My first piece was the greatest day of my life.. up to that point. She was pretty thin. I like a cushion nowadays

I have made up a center stand, works great with the air ride.

Have you tried flipping it around yet? I can post a better pic of the K9 in the chock later.

Just to add to the overall conversation going on here...

I have an '07 K9 with air ride and installed the aftermarket kickstand that Wild Steed Worx offers. (They have an adjustable length one too, but I went with the non-adjustable one.) I generally let all the air out of the rear shock when I park, and the new kickstand leans the bike perfectly now, in my opinion. It is much more sturdy and secure than the stock one.

I tried the Arlen Ness adjustable kick stand on my K9 - It hit the rear brake line and wiring when folded up. I'm going to try it again with 1 more of the little flat plates that the stand mounts to - maybe 2 of them will space it out enough - I hope

Not sure about the adjustable Arlen Ness kickstand, but my non-adjustable one has a little set screw that allows you to change how far back it folds. Mine initially hit the rear brake line until I tweaked that screw.

Didn’t see a stop adjustment - all I saw was a set screw to lock the length of it - I’ll have to look at it again - thanks

BTW, I was able to get rid of the mounting plate completely with the non-adjustable aftermarket stand. If you can't get the Ness one to work, you might want to try it.

Mine did too, so I widened the detent so it does not fold up as high and clears fine now.

Make it easy on yourselves. I switched from air ride ( hard tail height when parked ) to fournalis shocks ( always full hight).

I got WSW (wild steed worx) extended kick.stand and it it's perfect. It still looks like it bends too far, but the parked lean angle.is just right.

This is how I have to park my bike to feel comfortable , front wheel in the chock , 2 boards and slight tension from a strap. The wheel chock alone will hold the bike straight up and down but I wouldn't trust it so I go overboard.
I have tried the fixes on this site on the kickstand but even those small strap of Steel still had it wobbly , I do have a new bushing coming but I doubt that's going to take care of the wobble and looseness.
There are plenty of threads on kick stands, I'll invest in what seems to be a favorite

My 2004 Mastiff was leaning way too far! Ordered the BDM 1" extended kickstand, problem solved! With the exception of being hard to find without looking & it pops up with little effort! Always need to double check it to make sure that it is down all of the way!
