"grbrown" is correct on the HD Display Stand ... It fits up through model year 2008 and is very easy to use ... I have one on my 1992 FLHTCU

The beauty of a show stand is the feet are adjustable and the wheels are intended to stay firmly on the ground, so it can be set for minimum effort to roll on/roll off.
The only caution I would give is that the bike must be parked level or rear down, never front down, as there is a risk the bike will roll off. Having got on board it is possible to ride away and the stand will pop up.

Ok so by this being your only post since signing up in 07! then saying its been awhile since you've been on here I guess you know we're gonna have to bust your chops........seriously you didn't even introduce yourself then almost six years later you ask for advice.......dude seriously
I also have a Wheeldock EZ UP Centerstand. It is easy to get on the stand when your tires are properly inflated and the shocks are at least 30-40 psi. It would be tough for you though if your left foot is your injured foot. There are electro-hydraulic center stands out there. Not sure if there is one that fits a Harley, but I bet a custom bike shop could make one work for you. That sounds like your best bet.

I just had a Wheeldock EZ-Up center stand put on my 2010 UC Ltd and it's great. I put it up on the stand from the left side of the bike using my right foot. Pulls back with a minimum of effort. I previously had a much lighter bike that took far more elbow grease to put it up on its stand. I'm amazed that a 900# bike goes up so easy with this stand. It is very stable on level surfaces too.

I agree with the other EZ Up users,but it still requires a little pressure with your left foot in order to lift the bike (passenger off) so it all depends on the conditions of your left foot.Somebody mentioned an electro/hydraulic system that wouldn't require any effort from the rider,you should do a Google search if there's is such a system suitable for your bike.I remember that the big BMW LT had a similar center stand electrically operated.Good luck!

I installed a Wheel Dock on my 2011 Road Glide Ultra about a month ago. I'm impressed with it. It requires very little effort put the bike on the stand and I can easily ride off of the stand. However, as others have written, you will need to use your left foot to engage the stand, and if there are any irregularities with the ground surface where you park, it may require even greater foot pressure to get it onto the stand.
Good luck with your choice.
