RE: 07 softtails
Mine will go with the stand down too, but my old Yamaha will instantly die if you put it in gear with the stand down.
They call it a safety thing, and I can understand how it might be a problem for some.
But I think its justone more example of thenanny state mentality.

Kickstand safety switch.
Keeps dumbasses from rolling off with their stand locked down and pollvaulting on the first left turn.

Please don't go suing Harley over the issue. Without digging mine up and looking, I'll bet there's some serious warning's in the owner's manual about putting the "jiffy stand" up before you take off... that should cover their liability.
