Not hijacking this thread, and there is another thread in the last day or two where a gent is considering one of these stands for his bike so he can park in front of a Honda Accord in his tight garage - so one of these from Legal Speeding Park-n-Move: 2 Inch might be handy with the EZ UP Stand.... watch the movies at the bottom.

1.5hrs.....I'm in the wrong business, I have one, took me all of 15 minutes from the time out the box until installed. I also had one on my 07, had it installed at Daytona by the vendor for free, that on had two bolts (pre 09) took about 10 minutes. That dealer is trying to rip you off.

I installed my HD center/display stand. It only took me 30 mins and that was because one bolt on it is between the frame and tranny with no room to hold the bracket on top of the frame from not spinning (put vice grips on it) 1.5 hrs, I cant see. Hell, I will do it for 50 bucks, only if you let me ride your RG when I am done, lol.

Put mine on last Saturday. About 30 minutes from opening the box to having it put on. Do it yourself.

10 minutes tops for my 08 EGC. Two bolts. 1/2 that for newer rides. They're screwing you

You need to find a new stealer. My daughter did it for me because my back was on the fritz. Took her all of 15 minutes. Couldn't ride for a few days so I let sit and made sure the bolts were tight enough. So..............DIY

Maybe they'll share the drugs they're on and you'll both be happy.

Oh yeah, and why do so many dealers have a bad rep???? Gee, I wonder.

Ask them if you can watch. Then, post it on YouTube.

Thanks in advance.
Just like everyone here has stated ... it damn near installs itself. No lift. No special tools. No Hassle. On bolt. Even a rocket scientist could install it in a few minutes.
The only way it could be easier if when you opened the box it jumped out ... ran across the floor ... and installed itself!

The hardest part of this job is getting up off the floor when you are done.
