Stockton, Ca. | It would be cool if they did it like the BMW LT. The center stand is automatic, not sure if it is hydrolic or electric but it is effortless to use. One of my riding buddies has one. For now I use a wheel chock or a center jack to get the bike upright for wheel cleaning, checking oil etc. When it is time to change the rubber pad on your side stands a center stand would be nice. The center jack gets in the way. |

| Having reverse, I don't really think it would help with the centerstand and would at best be risky and awkward.
Once the rear wheel comes off the ground, reverse would be useless and with Victory's reverse being so much slower than the Goldwing's, momentum wouldn't be there.
What the Vision needs is one like BMW has.

This may be something more suitable to the guys who have reverse. It would probably be easier to use reverse to gain a little momentum to pop the bike up. Course that could also bite you on the a$$ if you don't get it right too... |

"That's what they make dealers and detailers for" Holy crap! I must have had blinders on for my 25 years of riding street bikes. That's the very first time I've ever heard of someone having their bike detailed.
No offense, but this just seems so wrong. On so many levels. |
