The fun part was the several attempts to reach for it with my foot!!! I was otw to work so I temporally leaned it on a wall (not recommended). Took her home after looking at it lean on the wall for 5 mins...lol. Went on a jack until the new kickstand came in.

Did your bike's kickstand not have a sensor?

I believe only international models have jiffy stand sensors.

No, no I'm not joking. I know metric bikes have jiffy stand (kick stand) sensors. But my sportster and a couple of my buddies HDs do not have sensors for the kick stand. And checking my HD service manual it states that jiffy stand sensors are only found on international sportsters.
