I have a buddy that has one on his 09 Road King. The ONLY thing he dislikes about it is when riding with an adult passenger it scrapes occasionally when cornering to the left. He and his wife are not large(heavy) people either. Other than that, he loves it.
When I purchased my 07 Ultra Classic, I thought it should be a standard option. So after a year of missing it I purchased one and loved it. When I bought my 2011 Ultra Limited I had it installed two days later. Word of caution though, do not use it on uphill or downhill pitches. The uphill pitch that my driveway has, when I used it for cleaning, I thought I would never get it off the stand. On the other hand, I was washing my bike on a downhill pitch that the car wash has to the center drain, when it fell forward because I was cleaning it with too much tender loving care.
The Rivco center stand is the best one on the market. It's much easier to install than the HD stand. It has better construction than the EZ Up, plus it lifts the rear wheel off the ground without a board.
Had the Ez Up on my 94 Classic and used it with the Park n Move. Allowed me to stand the bike up and gave more storage options,.
Liked it feel it's well made and easy to install, I purchased one for my 10 Ultra. The 09-10 model is even easier to install, the only drawback is the footprint for the newer model Ez Up is not as wide as the older model. Great for service and cleaning. For more wheel clearence I just put a board under stand, might be able to see it on my avatar.
Can someone who has one of these stands installed take some pictures of it folded up under the bike and also while deployed? It seems like a great idea especially while servicing the bike (primary comes to mind)
I have one on my 04 Ultra, I bought it off E-bay for 149.00 love it. Works really great. You can ride off and if you want to lift the rear wheel a 1/4 inch piece of plywood under the legs will bring the tire off the ground.
Takes about 15 minutes to bolt on, bolts to the bow tie brace under the bike. Havn't scraped it but I'm not a let it all hang out type of rider. Hey Hey Hey watch it, I'm a Geezer

I just checked out their website. They are a little pricey, but I do like the fact that they have adjustable feet and they look well made.
I have the Wheeldock EZ Up on my Ultra and love it. Installation is quick with one bolt and it is a drive off stand. I put the bike on the stand while straddling the bike when parking it in the garage (and it is easy up). The quality is excellent and Wheeldock service was great.
Got an EZ Up on my 08 Classic. Easy to use seated on the scoot. I bought the model for a 1" lower even though my classic is standard height (slightly shorter stand than standard). Cut two plugs out of a truck tread. Drilled, tapped and screwed the plugs onto the steel feet of the EZ Up Stand. Stand is solid and no longer scrapes/beats up the garage floor. Took all of 35 minutes.
