I just put a center stand on this spring. Best money I spent on the bike. Goes up easy while sitting on the bike, and drives right off. It's perfect for cleaning and maintenance and goes off and on with only one bolt. I got the EZ-up since I found a "new" used one at a great price. I'm sure there's lots of other good ones out there too.

You'll likely have interference problems with either the bag mounts or the exhaust.

Have one, don't like it. Not even on the light weight dirt bike.

Going up isn't bad, though it's not easy either.

Coming down is darn hard. Especially solo.

The bike levers the bar HARD coming down. Slammed into theback of my dirt bike by not holding it tightly enough.

When you're at the back of the holding the unit, it's 50/50 which side the bike is going to fall down onto once the rear tire touches down.

A few tries were enough for me.

I have a Rivco centerstand on my Ultra. It makes cleaning and maintenance much easier.
