Like I said, I'll order tomorrow. Thats better and more useful then paying HD roughly $75 for their 2" side stand extension bracket because they made the side stand too short for the 09 frames. I see lots of uses for the center stand, including oil changes too.

I'm with you on that Saturday Night. Even for parking in parkades or crowded lots where there isn't room to lean the bike on the sidestand. You throw it up on the center stand and it takes less room. I used mine all the time on my previous bike, I think I'd really miss it if I didn't have one.
I commited my order yesterday, only 7 more to go at last count and we'll be at the magic #15.

As long as I can still use my Harbor Freight yellow aluminum bike jack with this I'm in too.
I'd like to have one but there's no way n L that I could roll it up on it. Bike=820lbs, Me=165lbs.
Trust me, you can. I tried one in Sturgis and it really is easy.
Gtag1, also keep in mind that you're not lifting the entire 820 lbs. You're only lifting the rear half of the bike and even then, the rear wheel never completely lifts off the ground. That's why it's a ride off stand, the rear tire is still partly in contact with the ground even though it's not supporting it's full share of the weight. It might take you a few tries to get used to the technique needed to put the bike on the stand but beyond that, I'd agree with JD, I think you'll be happy with it.
I am placing my order now. I think that takes it up to 9. I like that I will be able to sit on my bike at rallies and bike nights. PIA to sit on a 09 that is on the jiffy stand. It leans to much. Come on guys get it to 15.
Will 1" passenger floorboard extenders interfere with the center stand? I just ordered from Hundreddollacycleparts but I would also like to get a stand. Anyone know?
Just installed mine today, like they say it took about 10 minutes. Got it up the first try easily but make sure you have the jiffy stand down also just in case. The chrome foot thing will take a little getting use to in the up or down position but other then that its well worth the investment and the bike looks great standing straight up and very stable.
