Does the Rivco stand lift the rear tire completely off the ground? The Wheeldock stand does not, according to its web site.

I want to put one of these on my bike. I just went to the web site and they still arent available from the MOCO yet. The wheeldock looks kind of goofy to me when down. Does the foot actuator blend in when up?

Default Best Center Stand

I know the question is about a center stand but I had to mention the display stand option. I considered a center stand until I discovered the display stand (found one for $150.00 on ebay, about $250. at H-D). It mounts up front under the regulator and at the engine guard bolts. It's easy to install & adjustable. You just lift the left footboard, put your foot on the stand lever & pull back on the bike while straddling it. It won't raise either tire off the ground but you can just ride right off of it, you don't need to fold it up first. The down side is you can't have it and an oil cooler too.

Rivco on my Road Glide lifts the tire 3/4" to an 1" and tucks up tight, and I like the fact it's welded together, looked at one that the lift arm bolted on didn't care for that idea, but that was just me

Wheeldock all the way. If you want to raise the back tire, just use a small strip of wood under the stand.

Another vote for Wheeldock. Easy install, a 1/4 inch piece of plywood under the stand will raise the rear tire off the concrete, you can put it on the stand while seated on the bike and dive off the stand as well.

I would have to see it on a bike. It would have to be totally hidden for me to get one.
