Not sure what the need is, other than safety maybe (avoiding leaving it down). Powered centrestand would be good.
1 - Anybody who replied to this thread is on crack,
I’m looking to do some research and development on a powered kickstand for motorcycles of all types, asking for your feedback and opinions.
Basically, I need to show there is a market for this before I can get backing from the company I work at. Your responses will help in painting the picture for whether or not this is a reasonable idea.
Few things to consider:
I've attached some pictures of a current patent utilizing a pneumatic actuator, done by Ridley Motorcycle Company in Oklahoma,
- 12volt “bolt on system”
- Neutral Safety Switch
- Push Button control
I appreciate you reading this; I will keep you posted as how this moves along,
Thanks,

I am very interested ,my wife has a new Indian Chieftain and can't reach the kickstand. We have already lowered the bike , 1.5"
lowering kit, and had some foam removed from the seat. She is vertically challenged , a powered option would be great. please
let me know if you did anything further with this
So what i'm on crack...its my personal business i can still run the city...uh i mean post on internet forums.
Powered side stand, no need, why other than to say hey I have a powered side stand look at this.... It take almost zero effort to put the stand down.
Powered centre stand for large bikes (wing, other big cruisers). That I totally understand since it is not all that easy to get them on the centre stand.
