Does life time warranty come with a couple ropes just in case?

 

Well.. you have to give them credit, they have some pretty cool stands...





But as others have said, I would not trust my 800lbs beast to it... I would suggest going back to the stock unit.

 

True our bikes weight 700-900#'s, but the Jiffy stand doesn't get 20% of that.
Think, it doesn't take all that much to upright our bikes from the stand.

I've never put a set of scales under the stand, but it'd tell ya close what is actually the amount. Of course U'd need to put some 2x4 or something to raise the bike the same thickness as the scales to get a true reading.


Still, the stand failed, which means someone sure missed the boat when designing it and I'd not want another one of them.

Sometimes there is a reason OEM stuff is designed a certain way. Put the OEM Jiffy Stand back on and count your blessings. I would forget working with the manufactuer and just start posting that pic all over. You would be doing some poor guy a favor. If the manufacturer really cares about their product, they will do something about it. But getting money back helps no one, especially the guy whose bike is parked to the left of a bike resting on a claw stand. When that one fails, TWO bikes get damaged.

 

Thanks for that... I have one, but everyone hates it. I am going to have a custom one fabricated to replace it.

 

Personally I think they're way "over the top" anyway. Looks like something a Meth-Head would have designed.

 

Not if you set it over gently...but what if the bike falls over on the kick stand?...what about heavy wind? What if a car or another bike bumps into it on the stand? Factory "jiffy stands" are very tough...I have never seen one fail...but I have seen several aftermarket units fail.

 

You buy this stuff, thinking it's legit, that it'll hold up. I guess you never know. Damn, thanks for the heads-up...

 

Does the stamp on the back say made in China? LOL. Good thing you cought it before all the American steel got bent from falling over.

I just saw one of these stands on a very expensive bike in Bagger Magazine. Thought I'd check them out and did a search and found this thread. Good thing I did, wonder if that guy knows about this?
