Default Wheeldock and ground clearance

For people with Wheeldock stands.Do you drag any hard parts when you are running sharp mtn. curves with this stand and how is it 2 up?
We live in western NC with lots of hairpins, etc.
Have a healthy and safe 2009!!!!

I had my bike out today and rode the heck out of it on some Country roads and while I didnt touch down at all, I did lean her way over into a few curves and didn't drag at all. I think that if your bike has stock suspension (not lowered) it's a non issue. Someone posted that the center stand touched down before his floorboards did but that was on a bike with modified suspension I recall. I still say, its not an issue.

I never owned a cruiser with a center stand before and now that I bought this EZ-UP, it has become so useful and I wouldn't live without it. Oil changes, gassing up level, etc etc. Great product, superior quality..

I live in southern Pennsylvania and took a trip to Memphis Tennessee via the Blue Ridge Parkway this summer. Riding two-up and fully packed, I never had an issue of dragging with the wheeldock. I think I may have hit the floorboard once though on a hairpin. I highly recommend the wheeldock setup.

My floorboards are scraped as all he!!, but the Wheel Dock has not hit. I have a Street Glide with a 21" Front and 18" Rear, and all is fine.

Basically, because I'm not the one asking, but since I'm already typing this out, WTH.

Thanks for sharing. I somehow missed your thread about this and am glad to see that Rod fixed your problem for you. Seems like that is the answer for "lowered" bikes.
That was service "above and beyond" in my opinion and you did a nice write up about it afterwards.
