Wheeldock center stand installation....
Well, got mine via UPS today, and it arrived on time as promised!!! Most posters say they installed theirs in 10 min. or less, with one guy claiming 45 seconds. It took me a total of 15 min., if in addition to the 5 min. of install time, you add 5 min. of putting the bike up & down on the stand just for the fun of it, and then looking at the whole contraption for another 5 min. trying to figure out how in the world somebody ever came up with something so simple that works so well. My hat's off to you, whoever you are.

I didn't want a center stand, but purchased it because I didn't want to buy a jack...
Makes sense, right?
I purchased the SOOS footboard extensions, and had to loosen the jiffy stand to install. Since I didn't want to purchase a jack, I was forced to balance my bike with one hand and install the extensions with the other; or get a center stand.
Now that I have it, I will never be without. I am impressed!

$300 Vs buying a bike jack for $75.......
I guess if you MUST have your bike upright to park.....it is a bargain.
If I really need an extra 1/2 gallon of gas in my tank, I will sit on the bike as I refill.
Since I already have a sears jack...I am set.

Roadie Gliden,
I went the center stand route for the same reason(s). Great product for the $$.

Well, they were on sale for xmas at around $232 delivered. If you had the chance to use one you'd be sold my friend.....it is so much more and easier than a jack. And btw, I am the guy that had the 45 second install...and that's the truth.

!0 reasons why I like my center stand.
1) Loading gear in the port saddlebag is easier.
2) Safer and much less hassle than a jack
3) It's always with you
4) I can stand on the left floorboard with my left foot making it MUCH easier to swing my right foot over the bike.
5) Bike takes less room in the garage
6) A simple piece of plywood under the stand legs will keep weight off of the wheel durring extended storage times.
7) The same piece of ply under the stand allows the rear wheel to turn freely for cleaning, pressure checks and airing up.
8) Can fill tank to max while stretching my legs at fuel stops.
9) A drunken monkey could install it in less than 5 minutes without directions.
10) It's a well built, quality piece of equipment.
