RE: Night Train kick-stand
I had the same "trust issues" with the stand when I first got the bike. I always make sure any bike is in gear when I park anyway. If in gear, it can't roll far enough forward or backward to come off the kickstand.

RE: Night Train kick-stand
I never putmy bike in gear when I park it (unless I park on a incline)...and I've never had the jiffy stand fail me...even after I lowered my bike 2"...having your bike in gear when you park it isgood insurance against your bike rolling on 'ya just make sure you take it OUT of gear before you try to start it again(don't ask me how I know this)

RE: Night Train kick-stand
This problem started when you failed to read your owner's manual. There are no kick stands on Harleys, just Jiffy Stands (Real Name).
They do work different than the rice burners, dont they. Oh well.
