Just installed it in 10 minutes, black powdercoated, well made, probably the most useful addition to any HD that I've ever installed, it just gained me 1 foot of clearance in the garage!!

Hey Beemer737 or anyone else with experience with this center stand... How stable is the bike on the center stand? Is this something that you use only in the garage or would you trust it on the center stand while parked somewhere out in public? It doesn't seem to have a very wide base so I was just curious as to how stable the bike is with this thing deployed.

Also, is anyone using a wheel chock to hold their bike in the garage? I have been looking at them and they seem fast and easy to use. Do most of them require you to fasten the chock to the garage floor or some other type of wide base?

 

I can tell you my old 1979 Honda CB750K had a center stand like that. The bike was pretty big and I loved the center stand! Ran pretty hard too. Anyway....The stands don't have to be very wide. Only thing to be extra careful of is in the summer,parking on blacktop! With your regular kick stand you can just put down a piece of wood, hockey puck etc. With the center stand it's a little harder.

 

I have the same stand. I have used it in public. It is great when waiting for others cause you can sit on your bike without leaning. Big deal I know but i like it.

Can you still use a bike jack with the stand installed?

 

I useWheel Dock Chocks for wife's and my bikes (07 Ultra and 07 FXDL). I bought some carpet remnants from Home Depot (indoor outdoor) and just have the chocks on them. We drive our bikes into the chocks and then press the locking pedal.No slips, shifts or falls to date aftera year and a half of daily use.

Do you have the wheelchock boltedto the garage floor or is that not necessary.

 

They used a great looking bike for the ad there.

I now have a True-Track install, and they are not compatable.

 

You do not have to haveit bolted to the floor, the rubber ends hold it well when you run up on it.
The only issue is when backing out of the Wheeldock, it takes quite a bit of force and will pull the Wheeldock across an epoxy painted floor.
My solution was to just drill for 2 anchors and use 1/4-20 machine screws, this way it can be quickly moved when not needed.

 

I have a wheeldock and love it. I did add a plate on the bottom to make a floor that seems to make it more stable. The weight of the bike on the plate creates more friction to the cement.
