center stand

I have an 06 electra glide standard and am thinking about putting a center stand on it. Any suggestions or ideas?

A few of the guys I ride with have Ultras with the HD center stand .. they love them. It sure helps in those tight parking places and gives the guy next to you (like me that still uses a side stand) a little more room to get into the saddlebags. Good Luck!

Do you lose anything on your lean angle with a fixed center stand?

A center stand will NOT reduce the effective lean angle!

I have the HD- Front version and love it. The only down fall is based on the "levelness" of the pavement, it is sometimes harder to get the bike up on the stand.

RE: center stand

I recently saw a guys EGlide with the Rivco rear stand. It's practically invisible while up. I didn't even realize he had it after riding with him all day until he popped it up on it at dinner. Pretty clean installation and easy to get the bike up on and off of. Adjustable length. I'm considering one myself.
