I have a 05 Ultra....When I ever put bike o side stand it has a tendency to roll -- flat ground or slight incline -- uphill -- don't seem to matter.... my puckering I think has given me a hernia ... I had a 06 FLHXi and I don't recall this...my Springer stay put.... it does seem loose when I put the stand down....

anyone have similar issues or am I just crazy?

 

Yep, welcome to the club.
And, welcome to the forum from the great state of Alabama!

 

Park the bike in 1st gear instead of neutral and it shouldn't roll.

 

 

That's how it works

 

hopefully the tab isn't installed incorrectly, its what keeps it from rolling and falling.

 

The Harley side stand is the best design out there. If you came from a generation that had to kick start motorcycles you would have no worry about them.

 

The pucker never really goes away, but you do get eventually get somewhat used to it. The stands are stable and the design is fantastic, but ya, every time it does that little forward movement my heart still skips a beat lol

 

When I bought my first Harley a party-piece of mine was to park it on either a steep up or down hill, when it would roll, dragging the jiffy with it. Put the fear of the unknown into innocent observers, but you know better. In those extremes put it in gear, or better still find somewhere level to park. The darned bike weighs a ton, so only ever park front wheel out, so you can power away, especially on a rearward downhill slope.

Repeat after me: I have nothing to worry about - I have.....

 

That's the stand "locking in". It's suppose to do that.
If it scares you, keep your foot against it as your leaning it over. Then dismount.
