Yeah, I would definitely be interested in hearing from somebody who's tried this thing out. The pics of it are sort of weird.

I'm not sure it would work for the main problem, which, as stated above, sometimes you have to lean the bike WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT, to get the damn thing to engage. Especially if you're trying to park on an incline. The only thing that's stopped me from dropping the bike to that side several times is my superhuman strength.

I'm just here to read the replies from the guys who have "never had a problem with mine, you must be stupid or somethin".

Yeah, I never had a problem with mine, either, until one day I did. It's a stupid design.

Seriously? The Softail side stands are pussycats. You should try the Pan America version.

Harley Owner's Manual and Shop Manual refer to it as a "Jiffy Stand".

From the parts diagram, it looks like multiple Stand legs will fit, just need to figure out the part number for each and the length as they are not all listed but look to be available.
