I got my Wheeldock EZ-Up!
Just wanted to thank all the people who posted positive reviews of the Wheeldock center stand. After reading a billion posts (that may be an accurate count) I finally ordered one from Amazon for $230 and installed it in less than 3 minutes. I truly think it may be the easiest install I've ever done. I then straddled the bike and prepared for the struggle of lifting a 800lb bike up in the air. I put a little pressure on the lever arm to center the bike on the two legs and to my pleasant surprise it rolled right up onto the stand. This is a fantastic forum!

The ride and handling are the same. It tucks right up tight under the bike.
As for using a motorcycle jack........ I have a 2011 limited at stock height. I have a pitbull jack. I put the jack rail right up against the main centerstand rail that goes across the frame. The bike has to be on the side stand to use a jack. There seems to be alittle more weight on the rear but it is extremely close to being evenly balanced. A jack with a smaller footprint would get the weight a tiny bit more centered.

I have one, you can drag it if you try, mine shows the effects. You can drag it on a speed bump too if you go over one too quick. I also found that as the tire wears it is harder to get the bike off of the stand. That said, I like the stand a lot, and use it practically exclusively.
