Default Centre stand

I'm thinking of getting a centre stand for my softtail standard as i don't have alot of room in my garage. Does the centre stand look ugly? How easy/ difficult is it to get a 300kg motorcycle onto the centre stand? Luke

I got an EZ-up installed this weekend at the Lone Star Rally...Awesome product and folks. They made me use it a few times in front of them before they let me ride off. That's a good thing...I've got it on an 09 Ultra.

Late,

I've seen center stands for Softail standards. I wouldn't mind having one.

Thanks for the pic, but technically it is a pic of a Touring bike (even though the ad is for Softails). I suppose they look the same, wouldn't mind seeing one in the riding position?

I've been thinking about gettin one too. I think it might help a little while doing minor maintenance. I wonder how they work on soft asphalt or on hard ground.
