I am not stressing over it, just wondering if that was supposed to be there. Thought forums were for discussing.

all my other black "paint swirled" bikes have had black kickstands and never noticed any particular wear, other than the bottom. No big deal, will either leave it or get it powder coated over winter when snowed in.

Just a thought, but I believe that the 2018 CVO Road Glide comes with a black kickstand...I'm sure that is not a "restricted item" but unfortunately you will have to buy that and spend more money.

Wow, people jumping all over this guy for a reasonable question. If I had a blacked out bike, a chrome kickstand would suck.

Harley does sell a black jiffy stand, you should have your dealer replace it

You know.... that black kick stand looks pretty good actually. How much snow you get up there? I hate snow, hate it. Yeah, go with the black kick stand dude, it looks good.

When I did my bike, I looked at that stand, says does not fit my 17 and up bikes.

last year was very unusual, cold and had quit a bit of snow. Most years, we get one or two snowfalls and washes away in a day or two. I am in Vancouver a couple hours north of Seattle so same weather as there. I ride year round.

My bad, you are correct. You may want to call Harley, I would be surprised if thy changed the jiffy stand.

Wow, nice pictures...could almost make the cover of HOG magazine...congrats man, nice bike...
