    Ok , not sure if I ask about this before so here goes, 1989 FLHTCU , my jiffy stand when I put it down to park the bike seems to go too far forward. Could the locking tab be worn out ? Or what else might cause this ? It doesn't seem like there is too much to the entire assembly.

    I have a Softail Heritage Classic. Your video and procedure for a touring kickstand spring replacement is easy. How about one for the heritage. It is totally different. The stand is a part of the floorboard bracket and will not rotate forward as described. It seems that all your videos deal with all models except the heritage and the procedures are all different. The Harley shop manual does not cover it either.

    Some feedback we got that I had to share: My kickstand spring came off loading my Ultra when we moved here from Texas and just as your video indicated we would do.....me and another knucklehead grabbed the vise grips and eventually added a ratchet come-along and got it back in place but I feel pretty stupid after watching the video on how to replace it CORRECTLY and how easy it is!! Ha! Very well done video, informative not BS at all and very easy to follow. Really a well done piece and wish I’d heard of FMH sooner. Thanks!!! B.
