Chrome Powder Coated Ride Off Stand for GL1800

Easy to use center stand
| I agree with many other reviews: Positives: It makes it very easy to put my 2016 GL1800 on and off the center stand! Negatives: The welds are sloppy and not complete. I expected a chrome look and it is more like silver powder coating. Honda attachment hardware is put on with Locktite and makes removal very difficult on left side. The bolts seem unnecessarily long. Bottom line is I would buy it again! |

| Ask questions before buying this stand. The stand for the 1800 is different then the stand for the 1500. Bought my stand from what I thought was a reputable company at Wing Ding, but didn't ask enough questions. The video shows an 1800 demonstrating the ease of putting the bike on center stand. Doing it with the reverse on the bike does make it easy. Doing it manually, is also easy with the 1800 stand. The 1500 stand does not have the longer arm for the foot to push down with, making it NO different then the OEM stand. The stands on display were good looking in all aspects, but not the case with what was sent to me. I also have the same complaint Phil from Ill. did, the powder coating is less then desirable. The welds are far from professional looking, with weld splatter all over the stand. I could have removed my black drive off stand, and had it powder coated for far less then the 199.00, and had a much better looking stand by far. |

| Installed this on my 2012 Gold Wing. Fits great, even with the Kuryakyn transformer floorboards. But there a a couple of issues which is why I'm rating it four stars. 1) Chrome powder coating. Doesn't look shiny at all. Looks really dull. I should have gone with the black one. 2) Bolt plate is not as thick as OEM center stand. This results in about 3/16 inches of side to side play. This could be addressed with thick washers or they could have used a thicker plate. 3) Welding. The welds themselves seem good, but there is a lot of splatter that they didn't grind off before finishing the piece. Yea, it's under the bike and it's not a show piece -- but it would have required just a few minutes to remove it before powder coating it. This is not really that big of a deal to me, but might be to some. 4) Rocking motion when mounting the bike. This did not seem to happen with the OEM stand and it makes me feel uncomfortable when getting on. If the bar weren't on the left side, it seems that the bike would tip over. I weigh 210 pounds. That is more than enough to destabilize the stand. Putting the bike on the stand manually is easier. You're essentially shoving it upright on the stand as opposed to lifting the back end up an inch or so, but I never had a hard time putting it on the center stand. It's really easy to put the bike on the stand when using the reverse feature. It will take some getting use to because of foot placement. Just remember, you must leave the bike in reverse when shutting down, otherwise you unlock the back wheel and it could roll off. Surprisingly, this is about the only accessory that I've put on the bike that my wife thinks is worth anything. Would I recommend it? If you have difficulty getting the bike on the center stand because you don't weigh enough or have leg or back problems, then yes -- this is for you. Overall, it's a decent product and should aid many owners who struggle with the factory stand. Installation tips: Another Wing Stuff member, Dee, mentioned a really good idea (review is on the black ride off stand) -- basically you put about $2.75 worth of quarters in the spring while it's extended (center stand down). This allows for it to be installed much easier since the spring requires about 50 to 75 pounds to stretch it. It's difficult to stretch with a flat blade screwdriver by itself, and you risk injuring your hand if the screwdriver slips. Break the bolts loose while it's on the stand, but don't remove for obvious reasons until you place the bike on the kick stand. You'll have a little more room to work with. Use ONLY an 8 mm allen wrench and a 14 mm socket wrench. Do not substitute SAE tools -- use only metric. The 8 mm screw is a standard screw thread. The 14 mm bolt is a reverse thread. |

| I just installed the ride off stand and the only hard part was breaking the 8mm bolt loose. It has blue sealant and does not want to move. the 14mm bolt is easier. Installation was otherwise easy provided you are mechanically inclined. Since I haven't used it yet my opinion may change with time. |

| Installed easy per instructions. Stock bolts seem so long, takes forever to get out. Works great, reverse is easy to put on stand. Also so much easier to do by hand. Then just ride off. |

| Just installed mine last night, was a little worried about the fit and the none warrenty of the chrome, Actually had no problems at all. The arm fit right in the middle, the black peddal fit under the transformer passenger boards, the spring went on easy, and I can understand the warrnty issue. I think mostly they are concerns with the part that touches the ground as the chrome will get warn off and it will start to rust. nough said. |

| Ordered this stand for new 07 Goldwing...will not allow the kick arm to rotate up into the left muffler recess like the stock unit...DOES NOT FIT!!! Having to now go thru the hassel of returning it for a credit due to poor product manufacture. The finish was excellent, but if it won't fit...can't use it! |
