Default Center stand for UC

My buddy has the HD chrome display stand (HD terminology). Does anyone else have one? Is it easy to get the bike on the stand? Why do you like it?

Check out www.wheeldock.com/ They have a center stand that works great. It only takes 7 pounds of pressure to get your bike up on the stand. A friend has one and I was really impressed with it. Unfortumately, they don't make one for the softails yet.

I recently installed a Wheeldock on my scoot. Nice stand, well built, but not adjustable. I found with my lowered suspension and the stand for the lowered suspension that the bike was a little too uneasy for me to leave it on the stand. I bought a verticle stand from vwowv.com that is chrome, adjustable and over a $100 less than the Wheeldock. It is comparably built, shiny chrome and I can adjust it to leave the rear wheel on the ground or lift it off, thus having more stability when it is up. Check this out if you are in the market for a center stand. I am in no way affiliated with these guys and receive no compensation for my remarks. It is just a great alternative and the communication and customer service was first rate. I received replies to my emails fro the owner and got my stand 2 days after I ordered it. 10 minute install also..

I have theChrome Harley part on my Ultra. It works great. It rolls right back onto it.It's sturdy enough to start the bike, sit on the bike. Very handy when doing oil changes. I like mine alot. I use it every time I ride the bike. When I park it in the garage I put the bike on it.

thanx for the tip Big Daddy- I have been checking them out but with my bike lowered from the factory and the 21x18 combo raising her back up a bump, I wasnt sure which stand would work best for me. Seems I just need an 'adjustable' stand like yourself which I wasnt aware was offered. Thanx again (dang this forum is expensive)lol

Yes I have it on mine. http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

It is not as easy to install as the wheeldock: http://www.wheeldock.com/prod_EZ.asp

It works great however once installed.
If I had it to do all over again, I would use the wheeldock.

Just wondering how the Adjustable Stand adjust? If by set screws, what keeps it from moving with the weight of the bike on it?
