I wonder what the reason is that they don't put center stands on a Harley? It sure makes it a lot easier to, change a tire, fix a flat or do regular maintenance. I never had a problem putting my Venture,Royal up on the center stand. That was all I used, hardly ever used the side stand. All it takes is the proper technique. I use to show guys how to put their heavy bikes up on the center stand. They would try to muscle the bike up, then give up stating it was too much trouble or it couldn't be done.
