Default 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.
