Half the price of Wheeldock. But I know Wheeldock is well made. Can't comment on the E-Bay one. Would be nice to see a side by side comparison.

 

Can't you get a hydraulic lift for less than that??

 

I checked, I don't have one.

 

Ditto that. I don't see the point unless it gets the rear wheel off the ground for some basic servicing.

 

It looks like one of the copies of 'Wheeldock' that are being made in Mexico and shipped to the US for sale by a bunch of different people. I have one from another dealer. I am an old welder so looked it over very carefully. Short of a Magnaflux exam, it looked good to me. I had it on my '05 Road King Classic for over two years. Now it has been transferred to my '08 Road Glide for three months. I think they are the best thing since sliced bread. Bike stands vertical in the garage so it takes up less room. At the gas station, I can get in every drop of fuel that the tank is going to take. To get the rear wheel off the ground just enough to rotate it while cleaning, I just put a 1x4 board under the feet and give a little extra pull on the handlebars. Easy toinstall if you have another person hold it up while starting the first bolt. It does not interfere in anyway with H-D's jiffy stand. This center stand is also 'ride off'. Looks cool to just put your feet on the platforms and ride away. ........................ BC

 

Man, I need to start reading descriptions instead of just looking at pictures. (Wonder where I got that from??)

I didn't realize that it bolts to the bike. I just thought it was a step on, leverage, lift to lift the bike a bit. I think it would be pretty cool as a actual center stand (not used to that term and H-D in the same sentence).

 

Wheeldock, I love Mine!

 

I wonder if that could be (easily) modified for a lowered wide glide???
