The Jiffy Stand is the best of any bike I've ever owned or ridden. It's strong too and can take me and my SO without a problem. It's about the last thing you should worry about unless you forget to put it down when parking or up when taking off.

If it don't make sense now, it will when your lifting 1k pounds of dead weight off the ground

My dad yelled three times at me that my bike was going to fall over when i was parking it to wash it. after the third time I pulled far ahead to a completely flat area, slapped that stand down, got off pissed and said "See!!!! its ****ing fine!!!!!!"
You would have looked pretty funny if the damn thing hadn't locked and the the bike slowly crumpled to the ground.
Had that happen once. Kicked the stand down, leaned bike on to it, the stand kicked back up, and I said, "Oh, ****!" as it was too late the bike was way past the point where I could hold it.

I've never had a problem w/my jiffy stand on either HD I've had. But this Ultra I got now has skeer'd the crap out of several folks around my place.

How do you feel about where the swingarm attachs to the frame?
(Ever notice how your handles bars are held on with paper clips?)
My jiffy stand goes every where my bike goes. Works fine.

why fix something that isn't broken. the jiffy stand is one of the things that really doesn't need 'upgrading'. the epa doesn't have a beef with it, so hd doesn't need to do anything to it.
