EDIT:Crap, I thought you were asking about the wheeldock, not the center stand. I'll leave my wheeldock summary here anyway.
Excellent product! A bike just rolls in & out. No need to yank it over the hump that other chocks have. This is great when you have limited space to push it it & it's simple to roll it out. Only drawbacks are is they are tire width specific so if you buy a new bike with a wider or narrower front tire it won't work but I believe you can exchange it for 50.00 plus the shipping fees. Also, I found that it would be nice if the release lever could be switched to the other side in case it is hard to get too from the left side. They said it isn't but maybe would be in the future.

I've had one for the past 2 years, love it. Just be sure you are on level ground as it can be rocked off fairly easily on slight declines. Great for refueling and cleaning the bike..

Love minbe, you do lose a bit of ground clearance but worth it to me. Great for upright parking, oil changes, washing, and doing the wheels. I just took it off my old bike and installed on my 2010. Think you cant go wrong

I love mine. Scrapes on rare occasions like hard corners where the road has a dip in it. Just rubs speed bumps with a passenger. Still, it's built like iron and works perfectly. I love to see the bike standing straight up in the garage. Makes working on it a breeze and I can sit on it and pretend it's not snowing...
