Centerstands are great but if the bike is covered and its windy lookout! I had a BMW the dealer put on its centersand after serviceing it and the wind blew it over cracking the oil pan,I had my 86 venture in the parking lot at work covered and the wind blew it over breaking the windshield and a mirror.
I don't care how much praise this thing gets, I ain't gonna risk seeing my bike with the sunny side down.

I like my stand on my '09 SG, and it is very stable, however, depending on the surface, I cannot always drive off of it as the rear tire will spin. I saw their rep at a show and he offered to swap for a slightly lower piece (for an '08), but the bike was unstable and 'wobbly' on it so I opted to keep what I have. I do use it on flat surfaces hard surfaces and have no reservations about leaving it unattended. Also, in my small garage where I also keep my Wing, the upright position saves lots of space.

I have the Wheeldock EZ Up and I use it everwhere. Never had a problem with it and don't expect to. As long as you always park with your front tire up, you will not have a problem. Getting it up on the stand is very easy and can be done without even holding onto the bars. If you are pulling the bars back, you are doing it wrong. Most important is to park with front tire up always, even when just using the sidestand.

I had the EZ-up on my stock height 09 Ultra. Removed it after a couple of hundred miles. I ride mostly 2-up and it bottoms out (scraped) on tight turns. And it really bottoms out on those parking lot speed bumps. But it is a well-made product and easy to install and use. My center stand is now just sitting in my basement, collecting dust.

We have a Wheel doc EZ up center stand. Have had it on 05 Ultra for about 3 years. Never had any problems with it. Floor boards scrape before the stand ever touches never had a problem with it bottoming out.
My wife has M/S this makes it harder to get on the bike. Because of the center stand she can get on and comfortable before I get on and drive off. Yes we don't park with the frount wheel facing downhill but I don't do that in the side stand either.
