Been thinking about a center stand addition. I found this one (Here) and wondered if anyone had installed/used this or any others?



Thanks

At a PGR event I saw a bike cop try to get his bike up on the center stand. Was not pretty, he was too short to easily get the bike on the stand. Lucky for him his partner was close and kept him from falling over. By the discussion it was not the first time this officer had the problem. If you are not able to get your feet flat on the ground and able to push the bike back easily, you might want to think twice about a center stand. a little sand or gravel and OOPS!

 

Center stands rock. Esp when you need to work on the BIG PIG! That stupid jiffy just doesn't cut it when i need to work on the left side of the sled, lead that is..................

 

I like the "ride off stand"

display stand

Had one on the 03 and had one on a Goldwing...much easier than a center stand to use.

 

Just installed the one you have pictured on my '07 Ultra. Took all of five minutes. Pointed down hill? Don't put it on the stand. Level or slightly up hill makes it much easier to put on the center stand while mounted. Agree you have to be able to have both feet planted firmly. Otherwise, the sales rep at the Unadilla meet had a technique where you stood on the left side of the bike, pulled the handle bars back while stepping on the bar and it would stand right up no problem. Love it.

 

I don't like them, they interfere with placing the bike on a lift since they mount at the frame cross member.

 

Thanks to all that posted - great info!

Eyespy, never even considered how it would effect my lift....Thanks!

 

Does this stand lift the rear wheel completely off the ground making it easier to clean?
