Center Stand Recommendation?
Looking at a center stand for my 2011 RKC and it seems you need to specify whether or not it's standard height or lowered, like on a RG. I do have 12" shocks, though the RKC comes with 13" stock. Every once in a blue moon I put the 13" shocks on for a long ride. Does anyone make these where one brand will adjust between a 12" and a 13"?

The Harley one is the one I have on my '09. I love it.
It is adjustable. I can make it where the rear tire is off the ground or not.
The other Aftermarket ones do not adjust. You will need to choose how it will sit.
After that, your stuck with it.

I have the EZ-UP stand and it's great but you'll have to decide on which model to pick; the lower or regular. Since you usually use the 12" shocks it seem that you should just go with the model of any manufacturer you choose for that set up knowing that it won't function with the 13" shocks. Of course if you can find one that will work with both that would be great.

I put the HD on my Road King immediately after I got it and love it. The adjustable height feature is really nice. I've got mine so the rear wheel just comes off the ground.

With lower shocks you might have problem with speed bumps and scraping on tight turns. I have one on my 07 UC stock height from HD and it still scrapes on speed bumps and tight turns if I'm not careful,other then that it's great for cleaning or working on the bike.

I can scrape the running boards in turns and don't touch the center stand at all.
