Speed by Design 2009 to Current Straight-Up Electric Billet Center Stand
Product Information
The Straight Up Electric Billet Center Stand is designed for motorcycles from 2009 and newer models. It is an essential product for riders who want to easily park their motorcycles without the need to lean it on a side stand. The center stand is made of billet aluminum, which makes it durable and long- lasting. The product comes with custom feet that are manufactured based on the measurements provided by the customer at the time of purchase.
Product Usage Instructions
The Straight Up Electric Billet Center Stand is easy to use if installed correctly. It is important to note that the installation should only be done by a qualified installer to avoid any damages or accidents. Before installing, the dealer or customer must complete the following items:
- Complete the Measurement Guide
- Read the Operation Instructions
- Read the Installation Instructions
- Read the Limited Warranty
Once these items have been completed, the custom feet for the center stand
will be shipped to the customer. The measurement guide requires two people to
measure the bike’s stand height. The bike should be measured on flat ground,
with the frame straight up and down, and the right and left frame rails level
to the ground. The bike should be lowered into the lowest position, and the
measurement should be taken from the lowest point of the frame to the ground
at the flattest point of the rear lower frame just before it begins to curve
up. This measurement must be submitted to Speed by Design before the product
can be shipped.
After installation, it is important to use the center stand correctly. The
user should place the motorcycle in neutral and apply the front brake. The
center stand should then be engaged by pressing down on the foot lever until
both feet are touching the ground. The motorcycle can then be lifted by
pulling up on the center stand handle. When disengaging the center stand, the
user should hold onto the handle and gently lower the motorcycle to the
ground. It is important to make sure the motorcycle is stable before releasing
the handle and moving away from the motorcycle.
Improper use of the center stand can result in serious injury or damage to the
motorcycle. It should only be used on flat and stable ground, and the
motorcycle should always be in neutral with the front brake applied when
engaging or disengaging the center stand. If any issues arise with the center
stand, it should be inspected by a qualified installer before further use.

lowest point of the frame to the ground at the flattest point of the rear
lower frame just before the frame begins to curve up. See Figure A. Please

Installation Instructions
2009 to Current Straight Up Electric Billet Center Stand
YOU MUST READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. It is of the upmost
importance that this product is installed by a qualified installer. If the
center stand is installed incorrectly, it could result in damage to the
motorcycle, serious injury or even death. The installer assumes full liability
for incorrect installation. Speed By Design assumes no liability for improper
installation or improper use of the electric center stand.
The bike must have adjustable “on the fly” rear air ride suspension with a
minimum of two inches of adjustable travel.
Never remove the bolts holding pivot points to the steel plate at any time for
this can create an alignment issue and cause premature wear to the actuator.
Section A: Mounting the Center Stand
- Remove the front stainless steel shoulder bolt from the actuator clevis, the two 5/16-18 bolts with nuts on them and the two 5/16-18 bolts from the plate bottom that are threaded into the backing plate.
- Cut the three zip ties from the front of the plate that are retaining the wire harness.
- Slip provided backing plate into position under the transmission on top of the stamped-out sheet metal rear frame member with large cut out drain hole located on the right side and chamfer down.
- Now let’s slip the center stand into position first fishing the wiring harness and actuator through the space between the primary and the frame under the belt. Now the plate should be in position to mount (no drilling necessary).
- Place two 5/16 -18 by ¾” bolts through rear holes in plate and align them with the existing holes in the Harley frame. Install provided thick washers and nylon locking nuts to these bolts.
- Now apply blue lock tight to the other two provided 5/16-18 by 5/8” bolts and install through the two front holes and into provided backing plate… Tighten all four 5/16-18 bolts accordingly.
- The next step will be to apply blue lock tight to the shoulder bolt, reinstall and tighten accordingly.
Section B: Wiring the Center Stand
- It is now time to complete the wiring process. Pull all wiring around oil pan and up right rear vertical frame rail and into wiring area in front of the battery. Use supplied zip ties to rescuer harness to front of center stand plate and to the factory harness.
- Connect red lead to the positive side of the battery and black lead to the negative side. Find the fuel pump plug located in the front of the battery in wiring area on the left side. The plug will look like the plugs we’ve supplied: black plastic with four wires. Once you’ve found it, unplug it and plug the male end into provided female end of our harness and the female end into the male end. Next, locate the existing hole for the provided switch. This can be found in front of the battery on the left side and will stick through the steel frame under the gas tank. See figure 1.
Section C: Testing the Center Stand
- You must next test the functions of the center stand and the orientation of the switch. If the switch is held in the up position, the stand should run up. If it runs down, rotate the switch 180 degrees.
- Now with the stand up, start the engine and run the stand down. If the engine does not die when the stand starts to move, do not ride the bike and call Speed By Design immediately.
Never remove the factory kickstand.
