Yea, nothing serious like the post spinning on the stand. But, but I am 320# and can't 'leg over' an EG or RG so I want to step on the (L) floorboard and step over like you would a horse. Wanted to see what the limit was before I did that in the dealership. I think I'll be OK.

Thanks all,

I have seen a Boss Hoss with a Chevy V8 in it, and it had a stock HD jiffy stand! i don't think it's a problem.

I don't think a jiffy stand will do any more than shrug off anything you care to do with it. Why do you ask?

I took a tour of the York plant last summer. One guy happened to be stamping out the jiffy stands, and a got to watch him for a few minutes. The stand itself is made of a solid steel bar. I'm not sure how much strain the fittings would take, but the stand will not fail first. It is probably the strongest single part on the entire bike.
