The HD kicstand is by far the best designed one out there, IMHO.

A chunk of 4x4 is pretty robust!

Your just fine with what you have. I do agree it sure doesn't look like it could hold a touring bike upright for very long however they do.

OEM kickstand is fine.


Made me think about how much I miss the sportbike kickstands in the garage tho... Being able to spin a bike just on the kickstand made things SO much easier.
