Default Softail center stand on a Rocker?

I'm looking for a center stand / display stand for my Rocker - I'm thinking for ride-in bike shows, and to take up a little less space in the garage. I see the moco has a new center stand for Softails (PN 98959-08). Of course it says "(except FXCW, FXCWC...)" like every single other Softail part, the majority of which work fine. But maybe it's a fitment issue with the 240 rear.

Soooooo, anyway, just wondering if anyone has put one of these on or knows of any fitment issues. Any other stands recommended for Rockers? Pics and part numbers greatly appreciated.

Take out the bumper stop and grind down the top of the swing arm to clear the oil tank.
There's pictures of people doing that on the forums.
Or go with an aftermarket oil tank. Then lower your air suspension to the lowest position to sit the frame on a measured block of material of choice.
Fab up an aluminum support with frame rail cradles to go fancy for a show bike.
Throw mirrors on the ground under the bike if you're worried about the judges missing something.
I've never entered my bikes in a show. So I'm not sure what the judges would be looking for anyway.

I use a J&S jack to push my bike raised bike around in the garage for clearance if needed.
