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. |

Love it!
Love this stand. As others have said, the coins in the spring made the install easier. To me, it's not as stable as the stock center stand but, it's still a great stand. I use it all the time. Really handy when riding with the SO. Put it on the stand, the SO climbs on, I get on and we ride off. When we stop, put it on the stand, I dismount the bike, then the SO dismounts. Gas stops while riding 2up are so easy now. MUCH easier than holding the bike while the someone climbs up into the back seat. Makes tire/rim cleaning a little tougher. I just put a board under it to get the back tire off of the ground. A must have for 2up riders! |

Great Addition
Installation was not too tricky, but you need to think it through before you start. It's now much easier to put the Wing up on the center stand with my foot. Riding up the stand in reverse works fine with one rider, but with wife on back (she's not heavy) it won't work. Riding off the stand is a bit dangerous if you are not on perfectly level ground, and not something I would recommend. I have found the shorter center stand (this one) works just fine even if the ground is not level. It seems stable and not 'tippy' at all. I really like this thing and because it's so much easier to put the bike on the center stand now, I don't use the side kick stand as much anymore. |

Nice Item
I received my Stand in a timely manner. Followed the directions on how to install. Put the Goldwing on it's side kick stand and had to lay on the ground to get to the bolts. pulled the center stand down as far as it would go and inserted washers between spring openings and raised the center stand back to up position and the spring come off with no tools. used a floor jack under the socket wrench handle to get both bolts to break loose (also to tighten). Got it installed in about 45 Min. It is very easy to park and use. I broke my back in 3 places 3 Yrs ago and never used my original stand this is a Great add on. Thanks |

Great addition
Put mine on in about 45 minutes. I have a bike lift so clearence wasnt a problem, biggest challenge was breaking loose the bolts. Used a spring tool and it came off and back on easily. Works great can use reverse to back up on the stand and ride off. |

The best I ever bought
I have a knee problem and it was very difficult for me to put my GW on the center stand. I installed the center stand in 25 minutes. Make sure, you use the coin trick. (Very helpful) Now it is more than easy to get my Baby on the stand with or without reverse. This unit is a must. Always ride save. |

Works very well with some caveats.
No issues fitting it. Coins in the spring worked perfectly. Makes very little difference to ground clearance on left but a bit on the right. Takes some getting used to for a smaller, shorter bloke. Hardest bit is "feeling" if the bike is upright enough to have both stand feet on the ground before commencing reverse. Notice also that it loads the reverse gearbox. Often a distinctive "Clunk" when you disengage reverse after having parked the bike. Also, be VERY careful of where you park. Make sure the surface is flat. One park the rear wheel rode up against a "fold" in the tarmac and when I returned to the bike as soon as I mounted it the stand retracted. Even though it was in gear there was enough backlash to allow the "fold" to roll the rear wheel forward a touch. Within a breath of tipping over. But the stand works and wife loves it. |

Install was easy.
Put mine on in about 40 minutes. Just put bike on centerstand and use a short cheater pipe that will fit over the end of ur hex wrench and ur box end wrench for the other side. Once u break them loose then put ur quarters in between the coils on spring, $2.75 to be exact. LOL. Use masking tape to hold the quarters in. Take bike off centerstand and put on kickstand and the rest is easy. Didnt need any tools to take off spring or put back on. Went on by hand. Great tip from the members. Reason this stand only gets 4 stars is that it don't fit perfect in the muffler groove. Its ok, nothin that jumps out at u. But there was no reason for MFG Co. to not make it perfect. It would have been easy to tweek in the design phase. Well see how long this stand holds up. See you out there. |

Big Difference
Installed it this afternoon in about 2.5 hours. Most difficult part was break the bolts (should of did it when it was up on stand) but did use the quarter trick for the spring. Recommend the brake spring tool and the 8mm hex socket.. had to use mallet to loose them. Difficult part was the spring...my quarters fell out...after install..tried it a few times, was a bit shaky, but after that was great. I made the mistake of not removing my carpet I normally park my bike on...It fits fine in the slot for the muffler...this is going to save my back.....and extend my riding days...after a few more trips and parks under the belt, I will write again. |

wow
This thing was a bear to install at least for me. But talk about ease of use, wow!! It’s like night and day to put the wing on the center stand. I had a horrific injury to my spine, and was not able to use my stock center stand anymore, but with this thing oh my goodness up she goes!!!! And that is either way, with reverse or manually! |
