Take a close look at the top of the sidestand. Most HD jiffy stands have a lug that locks into a notch in the mounting bracket so that the stand can't retract untill you stand the bike up.

ya beat me to the punch! you would have to do a lot of damage to the stand to get it to move when the weight of the bike is on it!

Extremely high quality. I compared them to the Mustang, and the Timberwolfs won hands down. I looked at leather thickness, backing material, stiching, and design capabilities..bought the timberwolf one for my wifes Deluxe..looks awesome on that bike
