I agree with comments below, it IS NOT as stable as the OEM center stand and I don't know why. It is not silly simple to reverse up on it. Must take your L leg off ground and on a slope that is a bit risky. Feet not rounded enough to grab all surfaces and many times it will "scoot" along in reverse. Reverse seems to struggle a bit getting it up and over on the slightest incline. Overall just okay. Much better however for my wife's wing as she can now get it on this center stand and the OEM one was impossible. With proper expectations you may be happy with it. |

No more struggle with the center stand! Works great. Only downside is that I can't use the center stand to wash all around the wheels like you can with the stock stand. Both front and rear wheel stays on the ground. Not really a big deal. |

I purchased this stand and had it installed while attending Wing Ding 30 in Greenville, SC today (3 July 2008). Given the other comments regarding installation posted here on WingStuff.com I'm glad I did have it installed. The actual installation didn't look complicated, but the use of a motorcycle jack instead of the side stand (as recommended in the installation instructions) made it easier. Like others have said, once you get the hang of it (which happens after a couple of uses) it really is a pleasure to use. I especially like the "ride off" capability. I highly recommend this product. |

In my previous review I meant to load on the LT for stability not the RT. |

I wouldn't say this was easy to install, and I'm pretty handy. The bolts are very tight and difficult to get to while the bike is on the side stand. I had to use a mallet to hit my wrench because I couldn't get any leverage. I also had to use a jack stand to lean the bike over to the other side and rest on the saddlebag protective bar.(don't recommend doing this, a little risky)I do recommend breaking the seal on both bolts while the bike is on the OEM center stand(bolts are very long threaded, no risk here), then putting it down to the side stand and removing it. I mared my spring and may have bent it a little. Follow the advice on the sheet and use a brake spring tool or nice spring hook here. The bike wobles now. A little scary. Leave it in reverse to reduce rolloff danger. Mounting from RT side is more stable because of the pedal arm. I was able to use the reverse to stand the bike after a few tries, still need more practice with passanger(nervous about this). Ok why did I give it four stars? I like it better than the OEM. I never had trouble getting my bike on the OEM but it was hard this is a breeze with or without the reverse method. Once it's up put it in reverse and additionally, place your suspension preload on 1 for extra stability as 1 makes the rear wheel a little lighter. When you are ready to leave reset suspenson to your favorite setting. Also suspension of 20 makes putting the bike on the stand even easier, just wouldn't recommend leaving it on 20. |

Great product - Thanks to reviewer Set Fit for the pointer about the right side bolt being reverse thread, That pointer saved a lot of frustration. Now to the stand. It was easier to install the new stand than it was to remove the OEM stand. Fits my 06 GL perfectly. Definately makes it easier to get the bike up on the center stand. I find the bike very stable on the ride off stand. I highly recommend this great accessory. |

A couple of practice tries were a little shaky at first. But after a couple times I got the hang of it and it works great! Use it all the time when storing for the night and at the gas pump. |

Nice product and easy to install, makes it very easy to get the bike on the back stand by just stepping down on the pad and putting it in reverse.. Have to put a spacer under it though if you want to spin the back wheel or if you are going to remove the rear wheel. Caution though if you are parking in a sandy area.. best then to use the side stand with a pad.. |

1st, the bolt on the right side of the center stand is a left-handed thread. knowing this makes installation a lot easier (and less bloody). 2nd, the bike is less stable on the ride off stand than it is on the stock stand BUT, with the ride off stand you are more likely to use the center stand, and you are aware of the wobble as you mount. 3rd, you do need a board under the stand to be able to spin the wheels. 4th, my reverse gear does seem to be weaker after 6 months or so 5th, when getting gas, my co-rider is happier (and isn't that a good thing) because she's not leaning over as on the side stand all in all, i do prefer it to the stock stand |
