Think I got the stand from Drag Specialties. I had to drill out and thread the holes on the frame to mount the kick stand. Wasn't to big of a deal to do it.

Which way does it go when you fold it up? Any pics with it up?

So After reading this thread I went and took a close look at my kick stand. Theres a notch that if the stand goes in correctly all the way in, it will not fold back up. Heres a crappy video.

Thanks for that video. Can you see that while seated on the bike? I guess as you put weight on the kickstand it should go into that groove, I will take notice of that next time I get off the bike. I always hold it forward with my foot until the bike settles on the stand. I have had many Harleys and the Breakout is the first one that I dont trust on the kick stand.

Yeah that creepage is kinda nerve wracking but I always leave my bike in gear when it is turned off.
I did test a breakout during the weekend and that kickstand is short. I had to make sure it was all the way down

I read all the posts regarding the kickstand issue, so i have been careful setting my bike down on it.. leave my foot on it.. dismount and watch it go into the groove.. then the other day.. I set the bike down on it.. and before i walked away it fell onto my right thigh/ leg.. I caught it in time.. not a happy camper about this.. I could bring this to the dealer have them check it out and a Tech could actually screw up and it could fall there too.. Im just going to wait to see if there is a service bulletin on this in the future..
