Default wheeldock center stand ....

i have a wheeldock center stand on my 09 street glide and when i turn to the right and hit a bump it drags !!! anyone else having this problem ? i am not impressed with it when your going 50 - 60 miles an hour or any speed for that reason , its hits . i am waiting for the day that it unloads my suspension and sends me for a ride . i am considering removing it to bad i spent 250 bucks on it to find out it hits .....

I have one on my 1" lowered '09 RKC...it has hit on speed bumps and dips, but never while turning. I'm not a peg scraper though...only a couple of times practicing the RLAP drills & the CS wasn't an issue.

I've scraped only once in a slow tight turn, but I also scraped before I added the Wheeldock. It sure is nice for working on the bike. I'm leaving mine on.

I have a air ride system and when slammed will scrape. Mod lift and all the way to stock height I have no problem even over speed bumps. Call them. I read about another guy that scraped his and it was defective they replaced his at no charge.

Yeah. Somethings not right. Bad spring or something.

Bought it used from a member on this site. Looks great so far. No problems whatsoever.

Okay, mine scraped once today in a tight right turn out of my subdivision, but my bike is lowered 1-1/2". It wasn't a big deal -- okay, so I like to lean. I'm still leaving mine on!
