I picked up the US General Motorcycle stand from Harbor Freight. I was impressed with the construction and so on, and it does a good job of holding the EGC up.

Question is, which hole are you guys using for the stock wheel/tire? I have the front stop in the farthest forward hole, and can't roll the bike out by myself. I was wondering if others had the same problem and if it helps to move the front stop back a hole or two?

 

The second hole from the front.

Will this stand hold an EG up all by itself sitting on the garage floor? It's solid? Easy onto it and easy off of it? Just want to be sure before I buy one.

 

Mine holds my SG with no problem.

Use the second hole from the T (front)

 

Easy on and easy off? No major tugging or assistance required?

Thanks..

 

Usually one good pull. The other day I didnt eat my wheaties, and found that one pull to get into the rear cradle...grab front brake, and one more pull and let go of brake at the same time and it rolls out easily.

Not bad at all. I am 5"10" and found I could get it out on or off the bike.

 

Will this thing hold a Sportster or is it over-kill and if so what's a good stand for a sporty?

 

Can you get the bike out of the stand while on the bike, or do you have to be off the bike and haul it off by the handlebars?

 

Ive done it both ways

 

Its never overkill...after all, we know how often HD riders upgrade over the years, you wouldn't want to buy another one would ya?
