This would be a little different on a smooth surface using the handlebars or the forks of a non-fairing scoot. But hey, that's why I do all my own work.

You guys are hilarious, it takes very little effort to get a bike moving that way, even on asphalt, like someone else said how much pressure do you think is pushing againt the fairing at 80 or 100 or 120 mph going down the road? Less than pushing the bike takes! Try using just a little common sense BEFORE blasting EVERY F'N THING the dealers do!

IT IS common practice in a LOT of dealerships AND at the factory. I gaurantee you its better than your bike getting dropped.

The kick stand wont break, there is NO force put against the spring when the stand is locked in place.
