Default No Toil "Kicker" Jiffy stand upgrade install

DISCLAIMER: I do not work for the this company or have any affiliation.

BTW, I already read several negative comments about this product all from people who haven't bought one. I paid for one and installed it so I could make up my own mind. If I don't like it over time, I can always take it off and put the HD spring back on.

I might take that piece off and see how it works. I'll do that tomorrow and let you know what I find.

It guaranties the locking tongue locks in place. Until it breaks because it's plastic.

Well that is slicker than boiled owl feces. The MOCO would be well advised to buy that little company and then incorporate that product into their new bikes. Of course the HD after market price would be $100.00 instead of $79.99.
I don't know how many devices those two guys will sell at that price but I hope they do well. Maybe we will see it on the end cap of a drug store counter 6 months from now with a sign that says "As Seen On TV" for $19.99.

For what it is, it's not worth $80 bucks.
Not even if it had an HD logo.

So this is for lazy people who can't make the extra effort to put the kick stand all the way in the full position?

I can save you the time "sifu" I already did and it makes no difference to how the Kicker works. The HD spring slams the kickstand against the factory stop and that is what locates the kickstand, not that plastic 1oz spring and tab. I am sure it would have come off soon anyway since there is no doubt the new spring snaps the kickstand in place. Most I ever paid for a chrome spring and it doesn't even have HD on it.
