is the HD brand center stand for touring bikes a spring loaded drive off stand ? if you own one what do you think about it ?

 

The Wheel Dock EZ up is much easier to use and install. There is minimal loss of ground clearance. The HD stand can require quite a bit more effort for a shorter or lighter man to use.

1+ for the EZ up center stand. Have friends that had Harley center stands and changed to EZ up after trying mine. Said it was easier to use. I have no experience with Harley center stand.

 

I also have the EZ up stand. Only way to go. Just make sure you get the correct one. They have a model for a bike that has been lowered.

 

I have the EZ Up centerstand and I like the way it works and I think it's the only stand that allows you to drive off.

 

I have the Harley "display stand" on my 03 FLHTPI. Drives right off of it no problem.

 

Make sure you get the right one. I bought one here on the forum that was listed as a cs1- for standard hight, and I got a cs2- for lowered models. They have a number stamped on the top of one of the feet that tells the model. If you need a cs2 I will make you a good deal on one.

I installed the HD stand on my 2012 Ultra. I am not a big guy but not small either. 180 ponds wet and 5'11" with my harley boots on. Putting the bike up on the HD stand is very very difficult not due the the strength required but because of the very short little lever you need to put your boot on to operate it. I normally promote HD products but the centre stand is very poor.

 

The Display Stand and the Center Stand are two different set-ups. The HD Display Stand is attached at the front of the scooter and fits up through 2008

The Center Stand is placed under the center of the scooter.
