Default No More Tip Over?

Just order this for my Ultra Limited. I'm sure it will give me peice of mind when the ground or pavement is soft.

I did a 10,000 mile trip a few years ago.
The first day out I stopped at the side of the road to check my straps....and found a nice mtn dew can laying in the gravel.
I squarshed it and used it under my stand for the entire trip.

I got pretty good at tossing it down and hitting it with the jiffy the first time.

I think the deposit value was 5¢

A coaster works for me. 100 bucks? I don't think so. Great Idea though, $25 would be a good price, my

It mounts to the end of the kickstand and yes it seems a little pricey but I figure it is worthwhile to save a 26K investment and not have to root around for trash to stick under the stand...LOL

motorcycles are not investments- they are purchases and loose value every day whether sitting in a garage or being ridden.


basic supply and demand.
25 years ago supply was limited to about 25,000 units yearly and demand created a 2 year wait list.

the past 15 years supply has exceeded 220,000 units and demand is satisfied.

that where the"'special, limited and custom" editions come into play, H-D has to find ways to drive sales


my rule of thumb is every $ saved on this bike gets me another $ closer to the next. I like multiple rides in the garage

I usually just throw a Honda rider under my Jiffy stand.
