Default jiffy stand bent to hell
Jiffy stand is bent and I need a new one. I have an 03 Roadglide. Does the softtail jiffy stand fit my bike? The dealer wants $127 does this seem right?

No, the Softail kickstand won't work. Trot over to ebay.

How did you bend it?

And yes they are probably around $100.

Not really sure why it bent no accident and It hasn't been dropped. I've had it about 4 years. The mechanic asked me if was ever trailered, if the kickstand was down it could have been bent during the move.
I'm thinking just fatigue?

thanks for the headsup on the used part lead.

That is very strange , I saw a tech put the full weight of an ultra on a jiffy stand, and pivot it around 180* and it didn't bend.

Local HD mechanic really didn't know. I just pulled the jiffy stand and it is not bent. The weld to the frame has broken. It's about 1/2 inch from the frame. This looks like a big problem. Anyone know how serious this is?

Someone may have tried driving off with the jiffy down and it hit real hard. Even then damn that metal is really heavy, there would be other signs of damage? very unusual. Has anyone borrowed it recently?
