the one I bought the length of the leg is extendable...I have it almost fully retracted on my tomos. I think it can extend at least 1-2 inches.
The reason I didn't put it more toward the center of the bike is then when up the end of the stand lined up with the foot peg. Having it where I do, it extends beyond the peg far enough that I can easily kick it down with my foot. The bike is plenty stable with it where it is...but if I were using pegs in normal location or had a bike with pedals then it could go forward at least 2-3 inches without any issues.
I had to grind away 1-2mm on the bottom of the swing arm for the bottom mounting bolt of the kickstand to line up with the backing plate.
And I had to grind down 1mm or so on the backside of the kickstand to give more clearance for the chain.
Basically took 20 minutes to figure out and modify the $10 kickstand to work. The mounting plate for the original kickstand was toast, letting the bike lean dangerously to either side...so I was super happy with how well this $10 part worked! It is one of the first ones to come up on ebay if you search for universal bike kick stand.
