ANNOYED !!!!
I have been wanting one of these ride off stands for a while thinking it would make it easier to steady the bike upright. So I recently bought one. 1st issue is lack of instructions with the stand. Got the right side hex nut bolt off only after having to go buy larger hex set and trying one by one until I found the one that fit. 2nd issue (again from lack of instructions) I ended up rounding the bolt head on the left side trying to loosen it up. It cost me $60 to find out from a motorcycle tech that the right side had a reverse thread bolt. Would have been nice to know BEFORE I rounded off that bolt head. OK got the Right bolt out and ready to install the ride off stand. After installation, I find the exact same results as pere1543 review. My bike is leaning to the right. The left stand leg is approx. 1/4 inch off the ground with the foot stand shouldering the weight of the left side. The stand would not put my bike up while on the cement floor in my shop as it just slid along the floor. I rolled it back into the ally and tried it again. AGAIN, like pere1543, my reverse gear began slipping and would not pick up the bike. I called Wingstuff to express my dissatisfaction. Was told to call the manufacturer. I was given a phone #. I called 4 times in a 2 hour period and got a busy signal each and every time. Now, I am not an engineer, but if you have several people expressing the exact same problems, there is something wrong. WINGSTUFF, I will be contacting you so we can work something out. AS for a rating, can I give it a 0/5.!!!!! |

Not Pleased at all.
I installed it as per the instructions, after I finished and tested it it was uneven. I tested it in several flat surfaces and street and the left side as you sit on the bike does not secure to the ground, it rested on the foot handle. The other point: when you engage reverse to put it one the center stand the starter motor strains to back it into position, thats with just one person on it. I don't think the motor will have enough power to lift it into position with two people on it. I do not recommend this product. The only reason I didn't return it is because I tried to straighten it with a rubber mallet and got frustrated, I just put the stock center stand back on. |

Ride Off Center Stand
This is one of the best most used accessories I have purchased for my Wing I ride. My friend got one for his and I could see it was a must have item. Once while attending a motorcycle event an older gentleman stood by his Wing in silence and awe as he watched me back it up on the stand. Alright he asked, What just happened here? I demonstrated once more and then showed him how easy it was to pull up by hand. He thanked me and told me he was almost at the point of selling his Wing as it was getting to hard for him to put on the center stand. I'll bet he got his the following week. My Wing is a daily ride and I use it at least twice a day. Like I said, one of the best accessories i've made for the bike. |

Lost rubber pad
I purchased my GW, and this was already installed. I think it's great, and wish I had for previously owned bikes. My only issue is that I somehow, somewhere lost the rubber pad. Does anyone know if there's a replacement anywhere? |

Ride Off Stand
I'm 5' 9" tall and never was able to get my bike on the center stand. This thing has revolutionized my riding - I use it most of the time! Recommend short people have someone near to stabilize you the first couple of times you use it. It's not hard to use, just lifts a little weird. Doesn't take long to get use to though. Highly recommend. |

I am absolutely amazed at just how easy this stand is to use. I used the standard method to start with and used more force than needed. The bike slid backwards about two inches it went up so fast. Using reverse while still mounted is by far the best way to use the stand. I actually think that left in reverse, it is more stable than the stock stand. My wife loves that she doesn't even have to dismount at the filling station and the ride off function is a dream. I can even have a kip on the rear seat now while she's shopping. Installation was a breeze and the trick with the washers in the spring was most welcome. Once I've mastered a technique for raising the rear wheel for cleaning and service, I'll be even happier. I can't imagine anyone regretting buying this product. |

Great Center Stand
Injured my foot putting my old bike up on center stand, so was worried about doing this with the Wing. Had my shop install and am very happy with this product. Having a 29 1/2 " inseam, it's a little tough to use the reverse, unless you're on an incline, but I'm able to get up when off the bike pretty easily. I recommend this to all GL1800 riders |

#1 add on for all Gold Wings
A friend bought one for his Wing. After see it it in action I had to have one on mine. The Wing is not an easy bike to get up on the center stand but now I put it on the stand without getting off the bike. Simply find neutral, push the stand to the ground and push the reverse button, all done. Had a gentleman witness this at a local motorcycle open house just after putting his on the side stand. He was in aw asking to see it again. He thanked me for the demonstration saying this just added years to keeping his Wing. Works well when pulling my trailer too. BEST #1 item I ever bought for my Wing |

Easy to operate stand
I had nothing but trouble getting the bike on the center stand. I was able to put the bike on the stand about one out of four tries. I had a neighbor lady help me put it on the stand so I could replace it with the new one. The guy that did the first review worked out all the problems so I did not have any problem with the installiation of the new stand. I ran out of quarters and used thick washers. That is the trick in hooking the spring back up. What a differece, so easy to put the bike on the center stand. |

gl1800 center stand
First I am glad to say I read some reviews about right side 14mm bolt being reverse threads(go figgure?!)I just carefully leaned bike over on left side crash bars-with my son to help go slowly and with sneakers under bars to prevent scratching,then used 1/2" breaker bar/14mm socket, to break bolt free(was not breaking loose with 14mm combination box wrench/mallet) Spray penetrating oil liberally the day before. Then I put back on center stand and used 8mm allen wrench and big rubber mallet to break left bolt free. Now for the time saver tips, fill all spring gaps with washers or quarters(like reviews said),use masking tape around spacers and spring. Then I used a 5/16" american gear wrench with a 3/4" long peice of cut off 8mm allen wrench.I then used a 9/16" american gearwrench on the right side also(14mm will do if u have metric,of course). This is the big time saver backing out both bolts- ONLY half way, with alot of fine threads (while still on center stand).Then take off center stand, put back on kick stand, then eaisly back out bolts and take center stand off,spring will unhook itself-NOTE spring placement. Keep right side spacer,bushing,bolt,washer togeather,same for left side parts(different). Use some grease on all spacers/bushings before reassembling. Use blue locktite on bolt threads,(note flat spot on washers go up-flush to engine casting)tighten up bolts with gearwrenches to just slightly snug.Then use big 8mm allen wrench and 14mm combo wrench and wack with rubber mallet to tighten securely. Attach spring to top stud,then just use needlenose pliers to attach spring(NOTE original placement of spring when removing-long end up/and not turned 180deg)to new center stand (this is with stand still in upper position,washers still taped to spring).Then put bike on centerstand ,(MUCH EAISER NOW)and untape washers and pull washers out with needlenose pliers. The new stand is a bit less stable than original, and seems to touch on the foot pedal extension as well as right side of stand. But overall I appreciate the ease of getting center stand up manually. I did try to use reverse in my garage, but stand only slid back due to smooth concrete floor,and it was a bit uneasy to hold bike up centered,use left foot to push new stand to floor and engage reverse. I just need to try on a rougher outside surface later. But dont really care because of the ease of using manually. The new stand is about 1 1/2" shorter than original stand, but it was always a bear to get original centerstand up.(I have a injured right ankle due to twisting it badly).I will have to use 3/4" wood/rubber spacer, under new stand to get rear wheel to be off floor for cleaning as needed. Thanks for taking the time to read this review, and it will only take 1 hr tops, if you use these directions. Enjoy your new center stand. And yes,(as reviews said) the extension is slightly different placement in muffler shield, but no big deal,and rubber foot pad hits shield on inner corner also no big deal. Dave |

Nice job
Following the installation instructions in previous reviews I found it straight forward and quite easy. Make sure to tape the quarters into the spring. The unit works very well, highly recommended. |
