Center stands on EG Classic
Anyone have any thoughts on these used on an EG Classic? Is either way more pratical on blacktop or is it a bad idea all around? Big difference in price for the two and they mount in totally different spots - Would appreaciate any comments - kess

RE: Center stands on EG Classic
Kess, the first one is a display stand and they say it doesn't fit if you have an oil cooler installed. I do like the second one though, and it would make working on the bike much easier. It also could help parking the bike in very tight spots as long as you have a good surface underneath the bike. I have thought about getting one for my Ultra.

Kess,
Contact Markuda. He has one like the second image you posted. It attaches just behind tranny and is very easy put in place. I had one like the first image (harley stand) on my 91 Ultra and loved it but it was more difficult to raise the bike.

Mine came with the first one, the owner before me put it on. I like having it but if I need to raise the bike it is useless. I use it mostly for parking where there is not much room and so that I can service my transfere case and tranny. The only real problem I have had with it is that I have scrapped it in a tight turn a few times so you do need to keep that in mind.
