I had ne.. it fit my '03 Dyna, but when I went to the '09 EG it was too short by a wee bit. Could not fold up the ramps at each end due to the tires being too close to the ends. I wouldn't buy it without trying it out. Get bike on it then fold up ends and see if the dolly moves. Ended up selling mine. 09s have a little longer wheelbase, which may be the issue.

When you flip the little levers to lower the little ramps at each end, the ramps slightly lift the dolly and take the weight off the wheels and the dolly cannot move. Once the ramps are up the wheels engage the floor and rolling-around-you-go. The leverage is such that it is very simple to raise or lower the little ramps.

I have a CYCLE SLIDER. Basically the same principal. The one shown in your website rotates those ramps down in front and rear to act as brakes and also as incoming ramps. The problem with baggers is the levers are always under the bags. Cycle Slider uses a similar brake system with cam over wheels. I removed them because the one in the back was under the right bag and also because on a painted garage floor the brakes had a tendency to slide. I drilled two 1/2" holes in the slider straight into my garage floor. When I move the bike to where it needs to be to unload it I insert 2 1/2" X 6" pins through the slider into the floor and leave the unit where it is. When I come home I roll up on it and leave it in gear when I shut it off. I remove the pins which I have easy access to and slide the bike up against the wall. I also took a piece of 1 1/2" angle aluminum. I bent one end so it created a right angle. I screwed it into the floor. Now I roll the bike up against the angle and push it forward till it hits the right angle . I never have to worry if I am pushing it to close to the wall and how far up it needs to go. The dolly works great even with my Street Glide on it. The cycle slider is all aluminum channel. Very well done.
