I installed my center stand about 4 months ago and wanted to hold off writing my review until I had a little bit of time using it. I’ll start off with some installation tips that might save you some frustration. I would recommend breaking your bolts while still on the original center stand, they are pretty tight. Also the right side bolt is reverse threaded. I didn’t have a tool for the spring so I stuff quarters (about $3 worth) into the spring while it was extended. This helps out so much when reinstalling the new stand, all I had to do was get a pair of needle nose pliers to stretch it the last ¼ inch. I posted some pictures on gl1800riders.com that may help as well. Alright now for the review, I think this an awesome upgrade. Mine does have a little bit of a wobble at times but isn’t unstable in the least bit, you just have to understand it isn’t exactly like the old stand. It takes little to no effort to put this up by foot. Putting it up using reverse took me a few times to get the hang of especially when 2 up but can do it with great ease now. My wife loves that she can stay on the bike during gas stops and the stability when she is getting on and off of the bike. I like that even with back issues this enables me to still use the center stand. The only inconvenience as others have stated is when you are trying to air up the tires if you don’t use the board to raise it up, it takes a few times of rolling it back and forth to find the air valve. |

| the movement of this unit need to be more stiff so it hold its place during bike turns. |
| Does NOT fit 2012 key fob. I'm going to give it 5 stars anyway, because the design is good (although for older style fobs in my case). My fault for not paying attention. Honda apparently changed the button layout in 2012, so things won't line up. |
