Default Center Stand

As an ex Goldwing owner, one thing I really Really miss is the center stand. I know there several available for the '15 Limited (FLHTK).
Any help in choosing would be appreciated. Are they hard to install? Or should I have someone put it on?
Thanks

There is only one real choice, the EZ UP center stand by WheelDock, it takes about 3 minutes to install it, and you can put the bike on it, while still on the bike, it is by far the best center stand available for the HD's.

I concur the EZ UP center stand is the one you want. It is designed so you don't need excessive force to get it up on the stand . The design leaves the rear tire in enough contact so you can get on and ride off the stand. It makes it much easier for a passenger to mount the bike.
Anothe bike I have is a 1985 BMW K100 which has a center stand and a handle on the frame. It is needed to add additiona upward force when you step on the center stand arm to lever it up. You feel like you are lifting the bike with your arm. A real pain.
No comparison and I like that my bike is level when I do refueling.

I have the Harley center stand, kind of a bitch to put the bike on it while still seated but it can be done. I had it included with my 2011 limited and now transferred to my 14 limited, use it every time I park my bike in the garage. It took me about 20 minutes to install it on my last bike, one bolt is a bitch to get to but not all that bad. Once you get one, you will be amazed at how much easier it is to clean.

But the Goldwing stand gets the rear wheel off the ground. Makes it real easy to clean the wheel and check for debris in the tire.

I have the Harley Center Stand, and I really like it.
It's been on 3 bikes now, and currently on my 14 Limited.
