I don't know of a longer one BUT I would like to. I think that the German site that you are on about is http://www.valkyrieparts.eu/shop/index.htmlCheck his prices out and then get the part numbers and price them from David Silvers in Suffolk. For example Alternator cover from HDL in the US just under 40$, 18 Euros from the German and £8.91 from David Silvers. Guess which one I went for?  |

... or you could get a local welder to modify yours ... and then get it chromed. Here's mine:  This is one made by one of my fellow riders for his own Valk.  |

Could get a chrome block or so and bolt it to your kick stand foot. Some places I park any longer ks and the bike would fall over. ???

The thing to consider is an undiscovered leak in a tire.
If the bike is standing too tall on the stand, a deflating tire could cause the bike to fall over.
Jus sayin'

I know too well. I shimmed my stand on the lower side to make the bike lean less and it fell over in the garage when the rear went flat. Bike hit a pole and broke the headlight bezel, luck it was only 45$ from HDL.

I agree!!!! Stock side stand, 205-65-16? car tire. Came home after a vacation only to find the bike on it's side, in the garage, level floor, from a flat. I now store in the winter on a stand or blocked, even with stock tires. |

you can also get a vtx plate and modify the stand to fit. gives a slightly less lean....  |

Okay, I'm gonna fess up, my back tire did the same thing, only it fell on the trunk of my antique Mustang, causing me to fill, sand and repaint the trunk lid, and also broke the outer fairing on my interstate, got the insurance to pay for that , thank God. I also shortened the kickstand. hoser |
