First accessory I put on my ultra was a EZ-Up Wheeldock center stand. Paid $100 shipped. New they are pricey.

Don't have a center stand but do have an HF lift. Lift is a tight fit as it is so a stand probably would be in the way. Can lift it 18" so wheel removal is a piece of cake. I always lower it onto the safety lock/stop when using it. And...probably costs less than a center stand. I paid around $75.00 for it.

Never though much about a center stand until I bought my FJR; they are actually quite handy for saving space and general maintenance. I haven't thought too much about one for the RKC yet, but that's only because I have a lot of other projects to spend the money. However, I do think about it a little everytime I set her down on the jiffy stand. The bike takes up a space and half leaning over like that.

I think it was JohnnyJZJZ posted a great idea for using jacks on here a while back. Use to large hose clamps and some rubber padding to go around the bottom frame rails and the jack and lock the bike on to the jack.

Does it lift rear tire off the ground?
Doesn't look like it?

I have the same front stand as RLH, which I picked out of the dealer's specials 'bin' shortly after the twinkies first appeared! Been happy and smug with it ever since. Most of my non-Harleys over the years have had a centre-stand plus a jiffy, it always seemed odd to me that the MoCo never found the need to fit them as stock.

By it's self no. But I put a piece of 3/4 inch plywood down and put it back up and it does. It's a little harder to do but it can be done. If you are a little short legged might have to do it standing up. I've done it both ways.

Wouldn't happen to have a part number for that would you? Not having much luck with my google search for this. It would be great to save space in garage when you don't feel like putting it on the Jack.
I use Jack with tie down strap ran over both frame rails. My jack has a bar that runs parallel to the frame rails but is about 3" bellow and in between the jack pads so I go from jack base, over 1st frame, under center bar on jack, over second frame rail to jack base on other side and tighten.

After a bit of a witch-hunt I found the invoice, dated 2001. That tells me it is #99002-97, which is still available. The H-D website currently says it won't fit early models, but I didn't have any problems at the time when I installed mine.
