With a lowered suspension you will need to order the correct one, I would contact Wheeldock ahead of ordering. And by the way, it is great for cleaning purposes and tight parking but make sure it is uphill a bit so it doesn't roll off. And i'll kiss anyone's azz if they can get my bike on the stand while still on the bike! Had it for a year and nobody has been able to do it yet. No big deal tho, it's simple from the side. I have hit bottom a few times with it, the one I remember was on a tight downhill turn, that was a bit scarey.

evidently I didn't quote this part right. The above was not my comment, the below was my response to someone else.
On my '03 ultra there is about 2" of area to attach the stand
reposition the stand on the frame tubes to get a different pivot point.

I like mine a lot.
I've touched it down lightly while cornering only when the rear wheel dropped into a depression in the road. Also on a speed bump with the Mrs on the back. Go slow and it won't happen.
Won't roll off if flat or slightly uphill.
I put mine up while on the bike every time. Deploy the kick stand just in case, stand up on the lever and it's up.
Can't be repositioned on the frame.
Needed a J&S jack because it's wide enough to span the hinge point on the stand. I use a 3/4" piece of wood on the front rail of the jack.
A 3/8" piece of plywood under the stand will raise the rear wheel off the ground.
They are made in sizes to accomodat lowered bikes, order accordingly.
Good luck.

I love mine. Haven't hit yet. Easy to get up on stand even when on the bike and I have lowered and extended passenger boards that are in the way. Easy to clean bike etc. Like Bigdum said, put a piece of plywood under it to get the back wheel all the way off the ground. Call Rod (owner of Wheeldock) and he will help you get the right one. Helluva nice guy!

Lowered bike mmm not sure I would want the stand, I can get my stand to touch every now and then not often though, I would imagine if your bike is lowered you would have more of a problem. I really like having it makes cleaning the wheels easy with a block of wood to lift the rear, makes oil changes easier, takes up less space in the garage, sitting on the bike waiting for my wife is better too as I can recline on the bike and enjoy the sun.

the only time it drags is when you are going right.if it is lowered you will drag all the time if you ride agressive.you won't hit your floor board cause the center stand hits first.plus don't forget that is a hard part,it doesn't fold up like the floor boards.standard height the conditions have to be just right to hit.still would not give it up for nothing
