I'm running the suspension, both front and rear, from a 1970s Montesa Scorpian. The rear shocks are there just because they were what the PO had on hand to make it taller.
Basically, the original length center stand wouldn't even reach the ground when extended.

I really want to get rid of the side kickstand, not only does it not reach the ground either, but I just think it looks ugly for this customized build.
S/F,
