I had to shorten the kickstand on my RXB. The thing made the bike stand nearly vertical even when unloaded. With the slightest amount of luggage it would have tipped over to the right. Meanwhile, Orion's product pictures all show a block of wood under the kickstand to make it stand more upright. My only conclusion is that the lengths of the kick stands must be complete random.
Fun fact: I discovered that the kick stand on the RXB is solid steel. Not a tube. Son of a bitch has to weigh at least five pounds. Perfect for motocamping in the woods, I guess, if you find yourself needing an emergency back up weapon to fend of a bear. Or maybe you need to temporarily hold up a bridge.
Strangely, the stand on my Bashan Enforcer is just about perfect. Even has a little rubber anti-vibration thingy on it.
