You should look at the Wheeldock EZ-Up stand. It is, by far the easiest to install ( took ten minutes literally ) and to use center stand on the market in my estimation and I've been riding for over 45 years. Check out their site. Do a search of the Forum and you will get a lot of positive feedback. I had the HD Stand and it was very difficult to use, it rattled on the stock exhaust also. I'm 6'2" and 260 lbs ... my better half, well lets just say she's better than half! I can sit on the bike with her on the back seated and put the bike ( a 2009 FLHTCU ) up on the stand while I'm seated with minimal effort. I can also load the bike on the stand, have the ol' girl hop on, get comfy, then pop the bike in gear and ride away. Here's a link to their site. I would highly reccommend their stand. Good Luck.

It's known as a display stand, I have one on my Glide. It is not intended to lift a wheel off the ground and only works on a level surface, but I love it. Works fine for most occasions and the feet can be adjusted so it is easy to use. Also helps servicing at home, to keep the bike upright. Does everything I want of it except help me get a wheel out of the bike, but I have a lift for that.

Just got back from spending 10 days down in the Smokies, did the Dragon, Cherohala, and all the "Great Ride" roads and only had minimal clearance trouble in and out of some of parking lots. They tend to create some exaggerated angles between the roadway and the parking lots. I pushed the scooter ( 2009 FLHTCU ) hard double up and encountered no problems.

+1 to whatever number have already recommended the ezup. I have a SG so its a little lower than other touring bikes. Only clearance issue I have had at the end of my driveway. The concrete curb sticks up about a half inch above the concrete driveway so if I go over it too fast it scrapes just a bit. As long as I remember to go over it slowly its not a problem.
