Default EZ Up

I've watched the guy at EZ UP install his center stand on a buddy's bike. If you're lucky enough to live near Stillwater, OK, they will work a deal if you bring cash. One is going on my 2015 Ultra Limited Low in a few weeks.

Thanks Guys! Sounds like the EZ UP is the way to go. Like I said, I've owned 2 Wings and they are nice. Besides the center stand (WHY isn't standard??), I miss REVERSE! Pushing this big bike out of a parking spot that I thought was level, about caused a hernia! If your asking why did I get a HD? USA!

Put a 1/4 thick piece of plywood under the EZ stand and you can move the wheel.

Thanks
The Wheeldock center stand is by far the best thing I've added to my bike. I love just letting out the clutch and riding off it. Great for fluid changes and better fit in the garage. Took a bit of getting used to rocking it up onto the stand, but now it's second nature and very easy.

It literally took me 15 minutes to install, most of that was just messing with it, but do as the directions say and it's a breeze.

Had HD one on my 07 UC well built and adjustable and I miss having it on my 2015 Flhtk , used to put small plywood piece under one side to lift up the rear wheel to clean or add air could adjust the stand to raise the rear wheel of the ground but then it was bitch to drive off.

I put on Ohlins that are a tad longer than the stock shocks, and much firmer. I put the EZ Up stand on my bike.

When I put my bike up on the center stand, the bike will literally roll straight off the stand and topple over if I walk away from it.

Something to be aware of if you've improved the suspension.

I can't answer that, perhaps. In any case, it is literally a 5 minute removal and reinstall once you've done it already.
