Installed EZ Off Center Stand this Morning
Got an EZ Off center stand for X-Mas. Installed on my "10" Ultra Classic this morning and it took all of 10 minutes. The hardest part was getting it out of the box because it's packed really well. It requires minimal effort to put it on the center stand while seated on the bike. When on a level surface on the stand, the bike is rock solid and requires considerable effort to push it off the stand if you don't ride it off. I leave the shifter in 1st to prevent accidental roll off but I don't think that's likely to happen even in neutral so I'm not going to buy the velcro front brake locking device. I read some previous comments about the stand bottoming out on speed bumps and sharp turns. After installation, I took the bike to the local park and went over speed bumps faster than I normally would and had no problems with it bottoming out. I did some sharp leaning turns and experienced no rubbing on either side. I carry 39 psi in front tire and 40 psi in the rear, and my suspension is pumped up to 40+ psi. The stand does set a little lower than the frame but after eyeballing it, I think the running boards would contact the ground before the stand with the pressures I'm carrying. I'm very pleased with the stand at this point and think its a great product. My only regret is that I wish I'd known about the 20% discount to forum members before I purchased it.

Love mine, no problems at all. Give them a call and tell them about your issues, they are very, very nice people to deal with. Met them at the International Bike show a couple years back.

FWIW, I have one on my '07 Ultra (not lowered). I was concerned that it might make contact with the pavement before the boards did, so I actually laid the bike down, gently, on both sides. The stand did not make contact with the ground at all. Not saying it couldn't under load and the right circumstances, but I was able to rest a little easier.

I got one a few months ago and it is probably my favorite add-on. I have never had it hit a speed bump or drag in a turn (I have had my floor board touch). I agree with EricD10563; it should be standard equipment.
Soulpony: They make a specific version for lowered touring bikes; check with them.
