Does anyone know of a longer jiffy stand or an extension avaliable ? My Ultra lays way too far over to suit me.

 

Yeah Larry,
The HD accessories catalogue does have an official extension available and believe it is indicated as Ultra and Touring bike acceptable. That could be important for warranty issues if the beast fails and falls.

But, if you have placed your Ultra next to a couple others and with the front wheel positioned the same on all them, and it is not sitting the same as them, then something isn't right underneath and a fix outha be done ASAP before she crashes over.

I also feel the factory built lean is just a couple degrees too much and I'm gonna check out the HD extension at the parts desk and see if it will make the very small change I'd like to have. Remember that the correct lean is actually a protection so that the three points of contact are a protection against screamin wind gusts and clumsy people bumping the bike. \

Maybe someone else has experience with the HD accessory extension...??

 

The lean is there for a purpose. with your bike on the jiffy and wheel in lock position. stand on the right side floor board. The bike does not come over on you. if you use a stand that lets the bike be more verticle, standing on right side floor board will allow the bike to come over.

 

There is no extension for the stand as to making it stand different from harley. The jiffy stand extension is simply a longer tab so it is easier to get your toe on it to put it down. Here is how the discribe it;

Jiffy Stand Extension Kit

This kit has been redesigned to add convenience and style to our existing jiffy stand. Polished and chrome-plated, it installs easily and includes all chrome hardware.

 

If that's what the HD extension is for, then I'll pass on even looking it over.

Thanks.

 

Gunrunners right it has nothing to do with the angle.

 

I had a Honda that stood almost straight up. I never thought much of it until it sat long enough for the tire to go down, which it then fell over on the front of the car. Makes me wonder what would happen to my bike with a low tire.

 

I use a poor man's extension for the garage-- an old telephone book!

 

I had a flat rear tire on my '02 ultra once. It stood a little straighter (front wheel turned to the left) but did not fall over.

 

Could always get a center stand![:-]
