I love my 2016 Road Glide Ultra but I one thing that kind of drives me nuts.

The Jiffy Stand on my 2009 Road King when deployed, lean the bike over onto the kick stand and the bike would settle back and the kick stand would lock in and move forward.

The Road Glide will settle forward and the kick stand will settle towards the back.

I know that once the bike is on the stand that the design locks and it should be pretty much impossible for the kick stand to fold up. But I find it unnerving that the bike moves forward and the stand shifts back.

I have compared the part numbers between the two bikes and everything seems to be the same as far as the Jiffy Stand.

Anyone notice this with the newer models.

 

I feel the same way. Every damn time l put it on the stand l get ready to catch it if it falls. It just don't look right.

 

My 2015 SG does the same thing; once the stand is engaged, it will allow the bike to roll forward a bit. Was pretty scary the first time it happened! But I'm used to it now... and as you said, once its locked in place it really ain't going nowhere. Ride on!

 

If it is that big concern that it needs to be posted just drop it in 1st.

 

As far as I know they all do...

 

They all do it. You just got to get use to it. Just make sure when you kick out the stand it's all the way forward before you lean her over.

 

I ALWAYS park my bike in first. Why take a chance.

 

^ yep

Ahhh, Gruene... I used to live in Wimberley. Love the Texas Hill Country!

 

Two things you can do. Park in 1st gear and push forward then lean onto stand. Second a company make a replacement locking tab that is a few degrees off and it will lock the stand straight out so that it won't come backwards

 

That is common. I would suggest you keep any eye on the bolt (#4) that holds down the leg stop (#23). I've seen it loosen up on a few bikes. Medium thread locker & 15-20 ft lbs.
Good luck.
