Ride off center stand
I purchased this item to make it easier to place my GL1800 on the center stand for routine maintenance. The stand operates with ease. I was disappointed only by the reduced stability when mounting the bike. I weigh 230 and this stand is not as stable as the stock item. Otherwise, I really like the stand. |

Installed On An 2008 GL1800
Works as advertised. Easy up manual or by reversing and drive off in first gear. Little pricey but worth the budget hit to have a usable center stand. |

Ride Off Center Stand
Hello All: So far so good, as it eases the fight to get it on the center stand. Installation was about an hour but had to spray both the hex bolt and the right bolt with penetrating fluid. Using a ratchet breaker bar I used the 8mm Allen socket and the 14 mm socket for the right and used leverage to get them loose. Re installed per instructions but will suggest getting an inexpensive drum brake spring pliers set to install the spring. This too will give the leverage to install the spring, as you can slide it directly on the bottom peg. Now needing to learn the reverse mode of doing it and we're done! |

Works better than expected.
This stand works excellent and wasn’t to hard to install. Took about 20 minutes. Way easier to use than the stock stand. Better for my old bones. |

Ride Off Stand for GL1800
This is the second "Ride Off" centerstand I have purchased. The first was more than twenty years ago, for a GL-1500, which I used for many years, without any problems. This stand works like a charm, and is preferable to the original OEM centerstand, in my option. As others have indicated in their reviews, the difficult part of mounting this stand is actually getting the OEM stand off. Knowing that the right side, hex head, bolt is a reverse thread, and finding a way of getting enough leverage on the left side to break loose the socket head, Allen Head, bolt, is the key. I read a lot of reviews, here and on other sites, applied a lot on W-D 40, used leverage with a cheater pipe to extend the wrench handle, and then, with patience, I was able to get both bolts, and the return spring off successfully. The coin trick for the spring is genius and works well, both in getting the spring off and getting it back on, when reinstalling. Getting the new centerstand on is a piece of cake, as long as you are patient and take occasional breaks from turning each bolt,1/8 rotation at a time, for about a million revolutions. In the end, I wasn't bloody or disappointed in how the new centerstand fits on the bike. The foot pad does sit forward of where the OEM leg sat, but looks fine and works well. Getting the bike onto the stand takes, literally, about 25% of the effort required for the original stand. As long as you realize the limitations of this "balance" stand, compared the stability of the OEM stand, and only deploy it on a flat, level surface, you'll love your decision. |

Wonderful Product
Highly delighted by this product. I was able to use the OEM but on the odd occasion I did have concerns about strain injury. Changing to this product was an absolute pleasure. I recommend it without hesitation. |

Manufacturing defect
As others have said, it's tough to get the stock bolts off. I used a 2' iron pipe as a socket wrench extension. Even so, my cheap sockets kept stripping. Bought a Husky brand socket and that worked. But the new stand had a manufacturing defect: the right side ear/flange with the mounting hole was welded 1/8" too low. Didn't notice it till I tried to install it. With 1/8" less clearance, after screwing in the right side bolt, the stand wouldn't pivot up far enough to install the left side hex bolt. I had to file off the area directly below the flange till there was enough room to swivel up into place. Then, once installed, when I tried to put the bike on the center stand, it didn't have enough space to fully engage (so the flat part of the stand rests on the flat pad on the bike, as the OEM stand does.) This left the bike precariously balanced. By comparing it to the OEM stand, which is beveled down about an inch near both flanges, I filed the new stand to match and then it worked, swivels up into place where it should. However, since the right side is 1/8" shorter than the left, the bike leans slightly to the right. Doesn't seem to affect getting onto or off of the stand though. All that said, now that it's finally on, I love it. Make sure you leave the bike in Reverse when it's on the stand (as the manufacturer suggests.) |

Love it!
Don’t forget to order every part you need for the install. I put this on an F6B standard so it didn’t have a center stand to pull parts from. Easy work though finding everything you need from Wingstuff. Just look at the schematics and you’re golden. Install was very simple... except the dang spring. With thick washers inserted between the spring rungs, pulling with all my might with vice grips, I still needed the lever of a big screwdriver to slide it over the peg. I buggered it up pretty good, but it’s a kickstand, it ain’t supposed to be pretty. :) And it’s done. So I’m done. |

Black ROCS for GL 1800
Excellent product. Work as expected. Perfect fit, and easy to install. This should be the number one modification you do on a Goldwing. Even my small wife can now put the bike on the center stand. Thank You, Wingstuff. |

Exactly What I Wanted.
The OEM center stand was injuring my lower back so I bought this to prevent further injury. In hindsight, I should have purchased this a long time ago. It absolutely works as advertised! Either with the reverse gear, or from the left side as designed, it is ridiculously easy to place on the Ride Off Center Stand. I now live in a condo without a garage to work on my Goldwing so I hired the local Honda shop. Well worth the $73.56 to have them R&R the center stand!! The 2 cons already mentioned are: 1) cannot rotate the rear tire; and 2) cannot easily un-weight the front tire to easily rotate the steering wheel. However, the instructions describe the work-arounds. On balance, the pros FAR outweigh the cons!! My back is extremely grateful. If you're reading this, stop here and put one on order. You won't regret it. |
