Mine has rested on the crash bar before so I guess it could do it again.

I confirm that you can lay a bagger down without being careful and do no damage....self inflicted tip over at about 1 mph to the right side onto gravel......It should have at least been scratched.

Road mine in the house and leaned it against the couch untill that night. Then, I went out to the HD dealer where there was a HOG meeting going on. I stold one off a bike in the parking lot.

Hey that was my bike you stole that from you bastard! I'm sure you saw me there! I had on a HD Hat, HD Coat, HD Chaps, and a vest with a 3 piece patch that was Harley on the Top, Eagle in the middle and Ride to Live / Live to Ride as a bottom rocker! OH and I have a HOG patch and a 99%er patch. I am 6'5" 350 # and the bike you stole that from was my 2011 Sportster. If you return the stand by the next HOG meeting no questions will be ask. If not I will have the dealer reveiw his parking lot video when I have my 1,000 mile service done next year!!! and then I will have the SOA Chapter >>>>

+1 to buy a new one. Maybe have a friend buy it for you and meet you somewhere and bolt it on.

Thats pretty funny. I worked with this guy in the same company. He lost his kick stand. All are parking space are usually covered here in phoenix because of the heat. He was working part time and going full time at MMI. He locked the front wheel and leaned the handle bars on obne of the support beams that hold up the covered parking
