I have the EZ up, and have drained my transmission with no problems, what year bike do you have, the stand is different for 09-up and 08-back.

Are any of you guys having cornering issues with the EZ-up? I am grinding mine in corners, bike is original. one up or 2 up doesn't really matter, smooth or rough corners(I am trying to ride this $$$$$ Cadillac like the $ Ferrari I sold). can my shocks leak down that fast and/or lower the bike enough to scrape?. taller speed bumps are impossible to cross.

Same here. I have a 2010 and I have zero problems with making an oil mess when draining the transmission oil.

Default Harley Center Stand

To those that have the Harley Center Stand (91573-09A) on '09 and new touring bikes, can you get the bike up on the center stand from the seated position (like EZ-UP), or do you need to dismount and raise the bike while standing on the left side?

Ditto this ^^^^. I live in Stillwater where they are made and the owner gave me a tour of the facility and spent a good half hour showing me how it installed and worked. Great service. I have had nine on for two years now with zero problems. You can easily get the rear wheel off the ground with the board underneath. I changed my stock shocks to JRI shocks using the board and it worked just fine. Very easy to install. I can guarantee you one thing, if you do buy the EZ-Up, you will never think to yourself, "why didn't I buy something different." You will love it.

Default Ez up

I put the center stand on my 03 Electra and use it every time I park in the garage. I can put it down with both my self and wife on the bike. Works great. Yes, putting a block under the stand will lift the rear wheel off the ground. .

Default EZ Up is My Choice!

I had the HD stand on my 2010 Road King. I had to file one of the feet so it wouldn't bang up my mufflers. After about a year the dirt got in around the legs and they stiffened up even after cleaning and greasing. The biggest negative was that the pegs aren't connected. One would go up and the other was still hanging down.

After trading up to a 2013 Road King I went to the EZ Up. It works, is easy to install, is cheaper, looks great, I can't say enough about it. I'm a HD accessory guy but this one I had to go with another brand.

Love my EZ-up way more than the center stand on my Goldwing.
I put it on the stand while still on the bike, and ride it off. My wile can get on the bike while I'm not on it. Plus with no adjusters on the feet. The bike is always stable.

It fit like a glove on my '09 ultra classic with no modification at all. Took about 3 minutes to put it on.
