I have had mine for a year now, use it 99% of the time. What I like most about it is it makes fluid changes, washing and detailing easier. When washing the bike I put it up on a piece of 3/8' plywood and I can role the rear wheel to clean it, for the front wheel I have my SO sit on the passenger pad to raise the front wheel.

Using the Wheeddock EZ UP
I have a 2012 Limited, and considering purchasing an EZ-UP. My buddy has one on his stock 2010 Ultra, so I wanted to try before I buy.
I could not get the bike on the stand. I read the posts here on how easy it is to use. I see the videos on You-Tube where the bike rider does it with ease. My buddy is a "big" guy, prob 6'2" and 220 lbs. He has no issues.
I am vertically challenged...5'9" on a good day and 175. I got the bike to rock back, but not enough to engage the stand. We were on fairly level ground, but could not get it on the stand.
Anyone else have this issue? Am I just too short to gain leverage?

I've got an 2009 FLHTCU and I encounter absolutely no difficulty getting at, nor getting the bike up on the stand ( even with the ol' girl sitting on the bike ) .... some of my buddy's get a grin when I pull up to a stoplight and pop it on the stand at the light ( no effort what-so-ever )

No, the lever is below the floorboard. The only issue i've had is I bottomed out on the center stand, coming off a steep turnout back onto the main road.
