Is here some reason you don't use your side stand?

Love my Condor, some of the best money I've spent for the bike. It's great to be able to have the bike upright for cleaning or maintenance.

Well I'm certainly not going to get rid of it, so yes I reckon I'll keep using it. I like being able to pull into my garage, dock the bike and the leave it upright.

I really like the Condor and it does allow me to park it right next to the side wall without taking up space for the lean.

What size tire do you have and what position do you have the rear bar at 1,2,3,4,5,6 starting from the rear of the Condor?

I've got mine sitting on 3, but the book says 2 however at 2 I can't get the damn bike out of the Condor!

My Heritage has been blown over twice in bad storms.out in a parking lot. They are pretty tough machines. No damage either time. Those bags act as a cushion for the rear of the bike and the crash bar protects the front. I only use the kickstand.

I know if you don't deploy your kickstand correctly your bike is going to fall over, it happened to me with my Suzuki back in the 80's. Now I know if you don't park your bike correctly in a Condor stand, it's going to fall over.

Bike is a 2012 Limited, but I've got an 18" Streetglide Wheel/Tire on the front.

I'm using the 4th hole from the rear. I think I originally had it on the 3rd hole, but like you, the bike was too hard to get out off the chock. 4th hole holds the bike very securely.

I use both, but the Condor makes cleaning a lot easier.
