Default FX Low Rider Jiffy Stand

last year i noticed my jiffy stand was bending and the bike was leaning at a silly angle.
Now oem Jiffy stands are stupid money, even if you can find one.
So i ordered one from Debrix cycles in the states, good price and quick delivery to the UK.
Less than 8 months later, and the new stand has gone in the same way.
Bike is now parked in the garage on a paddock stand.
Hogparts in the UK have ordered another from VTwin in the states.
Question is, am i going to have the same problem, and is it the quality of the metal thats a problem.
Any Help Guys.
Dee.

Do you tie your bike down when you transport it with the kickstand down>> That will bend them every time.

Its not been transported, just parked on the kickstands as we all do.
Unless you have a bike with a centre stand.

Hmm, Does anyone spend a lot of time setting on the seat when it is on the kickstand?? The stock kick stand is a pretty sturdy piece. Hope you have good luck with the V-Twin piece. Before it was V-Twin it was Ted's. The nickname was "Taiwan Ted's". LOL
