I've only now just signed up for the Advisory Panel but in the meantime, does anyone really know what they have in mind as a replacement for the locking jiffy stand?  So what what in the sam hill would they replace it with that would not be locking but still be as sure a bet as the current design?

They'd be a damn fool to get rid of it. I stated that I would not consider a bike without it.

Probably replace it with something like this:

Sounds like we all answered the same way.

Parts guys at the dealer... "So you would like a locking kickstand like we used to make stock on the bikes? It's in the P&A catalogue for a list price of $199.99"

I'm with you fellers...the locking jiffy stand is a great idea and design that has no need to be refreshed, refurbished or "Rushmored" which is pretty much what I said in the comments on the survey.

Strange survey this month...

The bean counters are trying to figure out a way to generate more profit.  So they'll sell it to you in the P&A catalog.

That's Probably more correct than we care to admit

Probably replace it with something like this:

  Oh Yeah, when they un crate em you get to keep a 2x4 for the jiffy stand, also doubles as self protection weapon, when the liberals get done with gun control LOL 

[D-N-D]

They also asked if you customized your most resent purchased bike, questions like what did you replace or customize did you buy Harley or aftermarket and who was the manufacture of the aftermarket parts. They like to know who taking there business.

Thought the same. Why change.

I have to admit sounding stupid but since my 14 CVO limited is my first Harley ever, I am a bit confused as to the "locking jiffy stand"  either my bike doesn't have that feature or I don't have a clue as how to activate it.  Mine has never locked and you can move the bike on the stand with little or no effort.  I often shift the bike into first gear just before engine shut down to kept the bike from rolling on the jiffy stand.  Any info or help on how to activate this feature would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Not stupid at all.  When I got my first Harley I also did not know about the locking feature of the side/jiffy stand.  If you look at the bracket that attaches the stand to your bike's frame you will see a tab/tang (Harley calls it a 'leg stop') that is attached to the jiffy stand with a bolt.  The weight of the bike on the stand causes the jiffy stand to move in toward the bike and the leg stop moves into a slot on the bracket.  This then prevents the bike from moving as the leg stop is captured in the slot and prevents the jiffy stand from retracting.  Now the bike WILL ROLL maybe a couple inches forward but no further.  It is a bit disconcerting at first but if you make sure you have the jiffy stand pushed all the way forward before you put the weight of the bike on it (as was stated in a previous post) then the leg stop will be captured in the slot and lock the stand.

Of course, because it will be a SE part for 'off road use only' it will come with the added anxiety of not knowing for sure if you have voided your warranty or not.

And you'll probably have to have the dealer install it as Digital Technician must be used to complete the process.
