Keep something in mind any product that does not bolt down securely with a through bolt IS going to work itself loose eventually it's just the basic nature of our bikes , they have been puking the odd parts for as long as they have been being built .

In theory maybe , I've been fixing broken and shaken off stuff on these bikes too many years to believe it won't happen . Can't tell you how much shiney bike related stuff I've seen on the roads over the years that have fallen off somebodies bike that wasn't supposed to .

PS gravity is great till the next bump or pothole ....................

I have the HD stand extender on my Dyna. Bolts on with no drilling with a locking nut. It's been secure and never worked lose or moved. It serves it's purpose well.

Thanks for the link KYBill!

HarleyScuba, yes, it is for the Tour Glide in sig. Still working on getting things changed so I can ride it this spring. Trying to keep things as "original" as possible.
