I had the HD Stand and in my opinion it was a piece of crap ... it rattles on the stock exhaust .... I installed the Wheel Dock EZ Up Center Stand and couldn't be happier.

Wheeldock...definitely do business with these guys.
Thanks again for the link to wheeldock.
I ordered the centerstand today as I said I would. Within an hour of ordering it the owner called me. I had mentioned my bike was slightly lowered in the front in the order.
As we had a pretty lengthy conversation I'll give you the synopsis: Rod is a real pro that puts a LOT of R & D into his producs. He knows everything in and out about suspension among other things. We found the solution to my custom specific issue and I know I'll be happy when I get the product in a few days.
Also, keep an eye on these guys. They're coming out with some new products in the near future that will be super. They're favorites on my toolbar and I plan to check in periodically to see what they come up with every so often.
They're a great American company and I was really happy to buy a genuine American product from a great fellow that went far out of his way to not just sell me, but educate in all things, some not having anything to do with his product. I would and will do business with these guys again I'm sure.

Got my wheeldock centerstand in the mail today. Installed it in a few minutes, no big deal. This really is the cat's meow. Very easy to put up on the stand while sitting on the bike and incredibly easy to take off. One note, the install guidelines suggest to torque the one mounting bolt to at least 30 ft. lbs, I took mine to a touch over 50 and it feels solid. 30 was just a little too low, but then again, the instructions did say AT LEAST 30 ft lbs. Can't recommend this bad boy enough. Very happy.

Just revisiting this thread after awhile. Updated signature pic has my bike on the wheeldock stand along with all the other add ons I've been playing with since picking up the bike.
After having some time to use the stand and get used to it I'll say this: Like everything else, it has its purpose. Don't use it when you shouldn't i.e., uneven pavement, etc. I'm not so sure I'd use it for "servicing" as advertised. I've got a lift, I'll use the lift. Too much of a rock the wrong way when you're really torque-ing on something would not be good. But, for shows, pics, parking in the garage and saving space...A+. Good product.

Your slip-on's...
GREAT looking bike!
I have the exact slipon's on my 12 Road King Classic...without the power duels header...how is the soundwith the V&H Power Duals & HO Slip-Ons? I'm toying with doing that as well.
