Harley actually has a patent on the locking mechanism of the jiffy stand.

How much weight can they hold? For example, all my other bikes I felt comfortable sitting on while on the stand. Like adjusting pegs or something. When I bought this bike, the dealer made a big deal about not sitting on any of the bikes in the showroom. They want a salesman to hold the bike up from the forks while you sit on it.

Purp,

That is a cool picture. It says a lot.

While I was at a dealer I saw a salesman talking to a guy. Stood on the left floorboard and started jumping up and down. Got off and told the guy, 'told you it wouldn't fall over.' I would have busted a gut if the floorboard had snapped off. My wife went to go look for a pair of eye glasses. Told the owner she wanted something flexable. He picked up a pair of Tommy Hillfiger (SP?). Twisted them and they snapped in half. LOL. Looked at the wife and said, "I don't think those will work." LOL, he was so embarrassed he really hooked her up on a pair of glasses (below cost). And NO, not those. Another pair that he bent all up (and straighten out)and that actually did not break.
