Kickstands

Kickstands: the one part your bike leans its whole weight on

A kickstand is the folding side stand that holds your motorcycle upright when it's parked. It carries the full lean weight of the bike, so the pivot, the spring return and the foot all take real load every time you set the machine down. Riders replace kickstands when the original is worn, bent, corroded at the pivot, or simply too short or too long after a suspension or tire change that alters ride height. An extended or adjustable stand corrects lean angle so a lowered or raised bike sits at a safe angle instead of standing too vertical or leaning too far.

What we stock

This category currently shows 11 kickstands from three brands: Bikers Choice (nine of the eleven), Kuryakyn and Performance Machine. Current in-stock prices run from $86 to $319 - that's the live range on what's here now, not a fixed price. Fitment data covers ten of the eleven listings, with a year span of 1989 to 2024, and the top makes are Harley-Davidson and Honda. Common vehicle matches include the Harley-Davidson XL, Softail, FLT, Touring, FXST and Dyna, plus the Honda GL1800.

Some concrete examples: the Bikers Choice 89-99 FXST Chrome Adjustable Kickstand at the top of the range, the Bikers Choice 89-99 Softail Chrome Kickstand in the middle, the Kuryakyn Stand-Rite Kickstand for the 01-17 Honda GL1800, and the Performance Machine Extended Kick Stand 1in in chrome.

How to choose

Start with fit. A kickstand has to match your model and year, because the mounting point and the length that sets lean angle are model-specific. Ten of the listings here carry fitment data, so check yours against the years shown.

  • Adjustable stands, like the Bikers Choice FXST unit, let you dial in lean angle - useful if you've changed ride height and want to correct how the bike sits.
  • Extended stands, like the 1-inch Performance Machine, add length for a bike that stands too upright and feels tippy.
  • Direct-fit replacements, like the Softail and GL1800 stands, are the simple swap when the original is worn or damaged and you just want the stock angle back.

Price tracks length, adjustability and brand - the spread from $86 to $319 reflects that, not a quality ranking.

What else you may want

While you're working the underside and cockpit, look at related Exterior categories. Handlebars and Mirrors often get refreshed in the same session, and lighting is a common pairing - browse Lighting, Headlights, Tail Lights and Turn Signals to match the chrome finish on many of these stands.
