The bike
what model
and was it that color from the factory ?
(I presume the front bubble and rear boxes are aftermarket or custom made??)
thanks

I have the condensation in the speedo issue and they replaced the first one. I had a rattling gas cap too but they replaced that as well. No problem with my kickstand, mine leans over quite well, but the Heritage I rented in Italy had a very upright angle with it's kickstand which made it difficult to park sometimes on steep hills and cambers.

Been caught in a deluge and have run a lot of miles on dirt roads. Area under my Heritage seat looks just fine. I don't know about other models, but this one doesn't go on my problem list at all.

hahahaha...too hard to look at my sig I guess. That’s just what’s in the garage now....many unlisted over the years. Plenty of decades on Harleys.
The new stand is not perfect and I always liked the old one, but I’ve had zero issues with it. Holds the bike up real well too...
I love how the OP is on his first Harley and has a big opinion versus a previous stand he’s never had...
knock yourselves out.

I own a 17 RGU - No issues, no complaints, no repairs
I owned an 18 FB114 - only issue was a rattling gas cap replaced under warranty
I own a 19 Heritage 114 - Maybe the most competent all arounder I ever owned. I do not like the jiffy stand but it never caused me an issue. No issues, no complaints, no repairs

For those that have an issue with the new stand, have you thought about removing it and replacing it with one from the Evo or Twin Cam era, with a little fabrication?
People modify their engine, brakes, seat, and everything else so why not correct the thing that you are not happy with?
