Default Ez Up Center Stand -A hint...

Good day, Riders.

Looked at and ordered the EZ Up center stand after reading all the good things about it.

Not mechanically inclined but the instructions looked simple enough.

Not shown; not said in the instructions is that on some of the later touring models the cross member that the stand bolts against have a curl on both the leading and trailing edges probably designed to strengthen the Member.

Be advised; if your Xmember has this feature the supplied 1/2" bolts won't be longer enough to mount the stand.

Ride In Peace

What year are you putting it on? I have one on my 2009 FLHTCU and it installed with problems or adjustments ... design change?

Update from WheelDock....

The problem is a BENT xmember that happens when the wrong jack is used when reinstalling a rear tire.
According to WheelDock; if a spreader jack isn't used to lift the rear of the bike, the bottle jack will deform the xmember enough that the supplied bolts will be too short.

Straighting the frame member requires a long steel bar and lots of patience.

I had my rear tire replaced by a HD stealership. Thank you again HD!

One side note from WheelDock - this bent frame member may contribute to wobbling when riding through a corner.

Ride In Peace

I'd be marching into that dealership with a couple of questions.

A good question would be:
"Who does what by when?"

all, do you encounter any problems with using a service jack, if the ez up is installed. (2010 Street Glide)

It works fine with my Pitbull...you just align the space between the rear jack pads so that the center stand bolt lands in between the pads. Other than that--no problem--and I don't even consider that a problem.

I have to put the rear tire on a piece of plywood, so my red craftsman jack will fit under the stand. It worked that way for my 02' ultra, but is a little harder with the new 11' ultra
