The 2009 Touring bikes that had "hard to upright" jiffy stands on them were the result of the MOCO not having the proper ones on hand when it came time to ship the 09s to the dealers. They needed a different jiffy stand bracket because of the new wheels and tires which the 09 bikes were outfitted with.
If you are experiencing issues with your bike being hard to upright after it has been on the jiffy stand, you would be a good candidate for the updated hardware. Yes, the new ones are easier for us old timers to pick up off the jiffy stand. There is no charge to have the dealer put on the new bracket. The MOCO eats it, for a change.
