Cross bones Center Stand
Has any one purchased and installed the new center stand on there cross bones? Is it hard to tilt 700 pds and does it look good?

I haven't, but am curious...why do you want it? For what purpose? I'm just curious...never seen or heard if anyone doing this before.

I would like it for servicing and safety, I would feel more comfortable with the bike resting in the center versus it leaning to one side. But thats alot of weigh for the center stand and I don't know if it's very difficult leaning the bike back to put it into place.

I love center stands but have been without since I got my Harley. I think it would be simple enough to operate. Step on it and pull back a bit.

There were a lot of dudes on the touring section who had center stands. If they could get the 800+ lb baggers up on a center stand, I am pretty sure you'll be able to manage.

Very few center stands available for softails. Why? because they are softails and rear end end of the frame is designed to pivot.
