I think most might be misunderstanding here, unless its me. I don't think it's about the stand failing, It's about how the bikes roll forward a bit when the weight goes on the stand and I agree. It gets me sometimes too. I'd love to kick the stand down and get off without rolling a bit!

while i don't understand the bashing of the man and his idea i will say i have had several times where i thought it was falling and if this product will eliminate a lot of it then i say let the people who want to try it give it a shot. Why bash the idea? if you have a better idea then post your own and share it or better yet keep on scrolling if you don't like it. Good luck with your product.

Politely expressing an opinion or providing alternatives is not "bashing"

I used to feel the same way - well maybe not thinking Harley should have changed it in all caps but yeah I disliked the jiffy stand coming from Japanese bikes to Harley.
Didn't trust it got that sinking feeling every time I put it on it.
Ordered a "Pucker Stop" - there are lots of different brands they are all the same - I don't know how you cut a square hole without CNC machining, that's not exactly a newfangled thing. It would be more expensive and laborious to not CNC machine it.
Got used to the jiffy stand - just always making sure to have it all the way forward when you lean it.
If you put those stops with the square hole slightly turned from the OEM you have to push the jiffy stand even farther forward.
Never put the Pucker Stop on.
It's fine.

my point is that there weren't any opinions asked for. I'm all for offering help to a fellow rider but when it's someone trying to sell something then let them sell it and not post any opinions or alternatives. Just my .002

I had several Jap bikes initially. Side stands in the late 70s and early 80s were sketchy. Then I went to Moto Guzzi Sport Touring. Those side stands were enough to get off the bike, then put it on the center stand. Eventually I had a few Guzzi California models that had a side stand like the HD does (did??). So by the time I got my first ElectraGlide in 1994, I was already used to the HD jiffy stands. Never had an issue with the HD jiffy stand, or the Guzzi version of the HD stand.
HD stands are bad ***, I have seen the bikes roll with deployed stands, still rock solid when they come to a stop. There are countless drops saved because of the design.
