Harley Kickstand

In the beginning, there were few practical ways to prop up your bike and it was most definitely not good. A Harley kickstand is not exactly a groundbreaking part, which we’ll get into below, but it makes parking possible. This all sounds like a pretty big deal to us and we think you’ll agree. Add a Harley Davidson kickstand to the mix — or a Harley jiffy stand replacement if that’s more your vocabulary — and enjoy a confidence-inspiring park job. We’ve got both flavors here at J&P Cycles so let’s dive into a little history before you shop a Harley Davidson kickstand upgrade kit. 

The Harley kickstand: Humble, simple & necessary 

Our friends over at Common Tread have penned the ultimate exploration of a Harley jiffy stand replacement, the origins of the name as a factory component and the overall mechanical operation. In short, it “allows for the bike to not fall over even when the terrain is decidedly not level, and yet it still comes back up if it's left down.” Sounds like a left-hand-mounted Harley Davidson kickstand, right? Give that article a read for a thorough dive into the differences — then get back to the Harley Davidson kickstand upgrade kit here at J&P. The custom options here are plentiful and come from your favorite aftermarket brands like Arlen Ness, Drag Specialties, TC Bros. Choppers, V-Twin Manufacturing and more.
