Jiffy Stand Mysteries
I need to replace part or all of my jiffy stand. My 02' RK PI jiffy stand still locks but has a LOT of "play" in it. That is to saythe bikerolls forward & the stand locks at about 20 degress pass where it should.(well past 1/2 way)HD wants $185 for a new one. Found pieces& parts on e-bay but not the whole stand, mount, locking tabs etc. Replaced the springso that's good. I don't understand how the locking mechanisem works, so I don't know if I just need to replace a piece, maybe the stick or the locking tab or the whold thing. Any advice?

I've got freinds that theres don't roll back more than 1" maybe. People freak out when I park next to them they think it's going to fall over on their bike. I would attach a pic, but I put it in the shop yesterday to get a new rear tire. ( metz 880). I hope it has beter wet grip that the HD police run flat it had.

Inspect the tab (Leg Stop), it should look like the photo below form a new 08 SG. If the Leg Stop is worn, you should be able to replace it, with out having to replace the entire jiffy stand.

RE: Jiffy Stand Mysteries
As has been stated several times, they all do that; but it's also what makes a nice CENTER STAND, like the one from Wheel Docks, VERY attractive; holds the bike more reliably, with the added benefit of holding the bike straight up, for cleaning, checking tranny oil, etc. Usually run just under $300, but I'd SURE look at one before I spent money on that junky 'jiffy stand'.
