Black Ride Off Center Stand for GL1800
ITEM CODE: CJ1800BL, SKU: CJ1800BL
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. |

Nice idea, but.......
| It might even work.Absolutely do not buy until you loosen the 8mm allen and 14 mm left hand thread bolts that hold the OEM stand on. I could not get mine to budge. Motorcycle shop could not get it loose. Be forwarned. I've already spent as much on labor and tools as the stand and still can't get the old one off. |

Awesome stand
| This is the best thing I've ever purchased for my Goldwing 1800. It makes putting it on the centerstand effortless. The most important thing I can say to those who will purchase one is READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. It appears by some of the reviews here that some did not. REMEMBER that the left side 14mm hex bolt is reverse threaded and the right side 8 mm Allen can be stripped if you're not careful. That said, i had no issues installing, but I will give you some advice from my experience not listed in instructions. It is far easier to install if the first thing you remove is the spring from the stand and it is the last thing you install. Also, use a 5lb sledge to help break loose the hex and Allen bolts and also use the sledge to aid in retighten the bolts, but again be careful not to strip the allen bolt, though it is not very easy to strip unless your careless. The hardest part of the job is getting the spring back on. I recommend a pair of vice-grips for that. One more thing. For the Goldwing, it's best to have a second person help you unless you have a jack because access to the right side allen bolt is impossible while on the side stand. |
