#1 - The center stand hangs down below the frame a minimum of 1 inch closer to 1.5 inches I think.
# 2 it takes the brunt of the road grime tossed directly at it from the front tire so what ended up happening with mine - it would not spring back - So when using the so called "drive-away" feature it would not spring back up snug to the frame, it hung down ( spring fatigue?).... to make matters worse if you hit a decent size bump it would kick back against the frame and drop down now being a couple of inches hanging down and stick there.
I just took the damn thing off - Not a good situation all around.

Folks
How many of you use one. I installed it yesterday and rode 2-up. I scraped it on a speed bump, then scraped it again in a turn. I have only scrapred boards once since I have owned this particular bike and now I scarpe way too easily.
I rode tonight solo and did not scrape but because I was being extra diligent to not lean too hard.
Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

This may not be the product for you - that's all.

Did you ever call Mr. Brakhage at Wheeldock and discuss the situation with him? He is the owner and spent a good 25 minutes showing me the product, how it worked,and then gave me a tour of his facility (I live in Stillwater where they are made). He struck me as an owner who would want to talk to someone having problems with his product and most likely would refund your money if things were as bad as you state. Just curious if you called him. Thanks

Scraped it just once and that was it for me. Just didn't like the idea of a fixed object that could potentially "de-weight" the bike in a turn.
Yeah... I know that "deweight" probably ain't a word... but it's all I could think of.
