    Comes with brackets (black) which fit on the bike. The actual stand takes 2 minutes to fit/remove after that.

    No it's not chrome - on the website they say it's electroplated. It's a solid bit of kit. I also bought one for my Rocket and that's no lightweight. Also comes with the extendable bar.

    Quick update I got one of these stands and I'm happy with it lifts the rear wheel clear of the ground helps a lot with cleaning etc,
    I couldn't lift it with pannier on so quick removal of left hand pannier and job's a good-un

    I had the same problem with the panniers. I used a extension bar on the breaker and it cleared it fine
