kick stand for top-heavy bike?

[bbender785]

just put 25" ape hangers on one of my bikes and a normal kickstand doesn't stand a chance with all the cantilevered weight; what are my options?

looking like a double kickstand may be the ticket. anyone ever do anything DIY to a normal kickstand for added stability though?

Hey I have had great luck with a spring loaded drop stand I got from eBay. The wife has a newspaper rack and will uneven load it.

My bars are underslung but the weight is still up there...
Find an axle mount stand. They also can fold forward or rearwards.
That's what works on mine...

Need a quick release seat post clamp next...
Low for the glamour shots...
Raised for the 6'3" rider.

I use the Ursus Jumbo Double Kickstand on a top heavy bike. Expensive and heavy. I found this review online ; http://www.danielmoorephoto.com/Bic...stand/25661062_5HGCk5#!i=2119390032&k=2hN3rz9

The double is the way to go. Spoken from experience with both ape hangers and electric bikes.
