Default Kickstand

Has anyone figured out an alternative for this lame *** kickstand on a Heritage yet? Yes, I said kickstand, this POS is not a Jiffy Stand. A Jiffy stand actually works.

Yeah it's a pain in the ****. Been discussed a whole bunch on this forum and I don't know of any serious solutions yet. If there is, I hope somebody chimes in.

I hope someone comes up with a jiffy stand for the Heritage. This is just a kick stand on there now. You can put my name of the list for the fix.

On a Heritage, you need to lean the bike way over to the right or the kickstand won't fully deploy. It's too long, and it's a cast piece of crap. I'll figure out something.

My kick stand operates OK since beveling the edges on the pad, it's about all I can think of to do to make it better.

There is an extension that attaches to it. Making it easier for your toe or foot to reach it.

You have a problem with it, others don't. That's why there are jiffy stand extensions made by various companies.

Just like the seat, some love it, others hate it.
