I've got one on my 06 UC. I got it so the bike wouldn't take up so much room in the garage. I had the dealer put it on. I'm not sure if it is adjusted correctly but mine is very hard to got on and off the stand. If I was going to do it again I think I would get the show stand or maybe it's called a parade stand I'm not sure, but it mounts farther forward and looks easier to use.
My Ultra is the first bike I've ever had without one. It's a pain not having one for simple things like washing rims and checking air, not to mention the 50% more space it takes up in the garage.
I'm wondering if there are any clearance issues if a person has the center stand along with a Tru Trac?

There are two HD versions Sid. I think your UC (if stock) should have done okay with the "stock height" model without the adjustable feetbut lowered machines should probably opt for the adjustable height version (threaded feet with lock-nuts) even though it's about $10 more.

ETA: Here's the adjustable version, P/N 91573-06.Can't find the standard version again for some reason.
I read a test on the RIVCO center stand. Everyone like it, but especially if you had the crash bars to grab onto to help pull the bike up onto it.
The drawback was that the stop, covered with a rubber bumper, rested against the tranny pan, and if you drove off a curb, the stand could hit the curb and drive the stop into the pan.
Sid, is that how yours is?
On my previous Venture, which also had air shocks, there was a tremendous difference in ease of use depending on how much air I had it the shocks.
Mine is the 91573-06 Chrome Center Stand. It mounts under the bike near the rear wheel. It is hard to locate with my foot , it is right under the passenger floor board. I usually have to get off the bike to find it and then it is very hard to lift the bike onto it. Once it's on the stand it is very hard to get off. Maybe mine isn't adjusted correctly. It doesn't have any rubber feet.
