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! |

Ride Off Center Stand (H Davis)
Great product once installed! Installation is somewhat difficult but can be done by a novice mechanic. The 14 mm hex head bolt on the right side is left handed thread, meaning to loosen, turn it to the right. The 8 mm allen bolt on the left side is regular right handed thread (turn left to loosen). Both have been lock tighted from the factory and require great effort to break free. Pay attention to the spacers when removing old stand, one of the spacers is recessed and it goes on the allen bolt side which allows the bolt to go all the way in. Both spacers have a flat spot which faces the frame or otherwise, the bolts will not hit the holes. Please use blue lock tight when reinstalling the stand to prevent the bolts from backing out while riding. Have fun! |

Ride off stand
My install went well after reading the other reviews. I did not have to adjust the exhaust chrome. The pedal does sit more forward in the indention in the exhaust but does not hit. We love being able to mount up and hook up while the bike idles on the stand and then just ride off. That works very well. However we have not been able to back onto the stand with both of us on the bike. I'm not sure if it's bad technique, too much weight or just not as advertised. |

The Power Park stand is not truly "plug and play", not if you do your own maintenance and check the pressure in your tires before every ride as I do. I had to cut a 3/4" board to clear the rear tire so it would spin and it had to fit in the saddlebag in case of a flat on the road.But I expected this, it was just a bit of a hassle getting the board just right. Another issue is the starter, at least mine, will not power park the thing while two up.And no my wife and I are not overweight. The video demo is a bit deceptive too. Conditions have to be perfect for the stand to work as shown. Other than these issues I'm OK with it. I have to be, it cost me $169.00. Would I buy it again knowing what I know now? Hmmm. Good question. The jury is still out... |

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. |

Very pleased with how easy it is to get the bike up on the center stand. With the stock stand, I had to roll the bike backwards, and use the bike's momentum to help raise it. Don't have to mess with any of that with this center stand. Definitely loosen the bolts while the bike is on the center stand. I tried to do it all on the side stand, and could not get enough leverage to do the job. Once the bike was on the center stand, a breaker bar and a metrinch socket for the 14 mm bolt did the trick. Used a piece of PVC pipe over the allen wrench as a cheater bar. As the instructions note, the 14 mm bolt is threaded backwards of most bolts. Chris Shaker |
