I've been looking at the center stands for the Street Glides. My bike has been lowered 2" in the front and rear. I want a center stand that will work with my bike that is not too noticeable but works with my bike. Is the Rivco center stand the one I need? Thansk!

 

I'm happy with my Wheel Dock EZUp.

 

Whatever you get, ask if it will be scraping when you lean the bike in turns...

 

+1 on the Wheeldock setup ... I have one on my 09 FLHTCU and it works great. The install is a "no brainer" ( If it was any easier it would have jumped out of the box, ran across the floor and attached itself to the bike once I opened the box ) It works as easily as the video on their site shows. http://www.wheeldock.com/prod_EZ.shtml I should note that with the addition of the stand you might encounter minimal clearance problems ( like riding off a curb into the street ) but on the road I've had no problems and I ride pretty hard ( a lot of times with the ol' gal on back too and still no problems )

 

Can you post a picture of the stand in the up position? The web site does not show a decent shot of the stand in the up position. Thanks.

 

I went with a Rivco stand. It's better constructed than the Wheeldock, and it raises the rear wheel completely off the ground. This makes cleaning and checking air pressure easier. You have to add a piece of wood under the Wheeldock to raise the rear wheel off the ground. One of the Rivco stands has adjustable feet. This might make it easier to use on lowered bikes.

 

I have the Harley Center Stand. It is well made and very clean and tight. When up, it is hard to notice that you have it installed. You will not have any clearance issues, when riding or not (and I have scraped the rider floorboards). The height is adjustable, lowered or not. You can set it for both wheels to be on the ground, or to lift the rear off the ground. The only drawback, some say, is that you must be standing beside the bike to put it on the stand.


The Wheeldock is not adjustable. You must know the height of you bike when ordering. If you get it wrong, you must return it and purchase a different unit. The bike can be raised while seated on the bike. This is because the lever is farther out on the side.
A friend of mine has the Wheeldock stand. He has found that while riding, the lean angle (clearance) on the left is less, due to this lever.

The Revco I have seen is made to lift the bike off off the ground. If this is what you like, so be it.
But you must check if the lean angle is reduced (as with the Wheeldock).

 

Thanks for the info and pic. Looks good when it is up out of the way.

 

I'm the West Coast distributor for Wheeldock. Based on the fact your bike is lowered 2" in the front and rear; we don't offer a stand that will work with your bike.

Hope this helps.

 

with a lowered bike i don't recommend it I'm on 13 inches and occasionally scrap it.
