EZ-UP Center stand ?
 
Hi All
Anyone using an EZ-UP Center Stand. A vendor was selling them at AZ Bikeweek. Looked cool, someone suggested it would get it the way of a lift.

I miss center stands. The one thing that Harley's and sport bikes do not come with. I don't know if it will get in teh way of your jack or not, but I could really dig one. If I had one I know my jack would get dusty sitting in the corner while I clean the wheels and such.

Harley sells a Center Stand for Softails Not Cheap! I have one mounted on my Fatboy and use it often. No clearance issues with lifts or jacks.

I put a HD center stand on my Heritage. I really like it. I have adjusted so that the back tire is still in contact with the pavement. If I want to clean the rear wheel, I put a 3/8" piece of wood down under the stand legs and it clears just enough to spin the tire. The way it's leveraged, it takes very, very little effort to set it on the stand, but it's kinda tricky getting it down. I usually just pop it in gear and drive it off.

EZ-Up Center stand is great, I just put mine on last week. Sure makes cleaning the rear wheel easier. Like Loco said, a piece of plywood( I use 1/2") under the stand legs and brings the rear off the ground. I just put my Ultra up on my Craftman stand no prob.....I Like..............
