Don't work together. Problem is there is not enough room from the center stand to the frame front to lift bike. I guess I had to find out for myself. Changed out my front wheel yesterday and ended up having to remove the center stand to accomplish it. Not a big deal since it's only one bolt that holds the stand there. It will be going back on after I recieve and install my rear wheel. I can't imagine being without it.
Just thought I would put it out there for anyone wondering.

I have the same issue. Its not the clearance but you can't center the jack pads on the frame correctly to get the bike raised evenly. The front end is way up there before the rear end starts lifting.
I guess you could drive the bike up onto some 2x6's, build the front jack pad up with wood 2x4's and then position the back jack pad so it lifts right on the center stand it may work but it a PIA to say the least.
I e-mailed WheelDock about the issue but they never responded.

Would it be possible to post a pic of yours up in the air and maybe measure from the outside perch to perch?

Red jack has the rails too close and is a bit too hight. J&S jack has wider rails and is lower to start. I use a 3/4" pad on the foreward rail and place the rear rail under the folded up center stand legs. Works great and way more solid than the old jack. Been through your situation and I now conclude that J&S or Pitbull jacks are worth every penny.
