Aw shucks!

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.

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!

Don't know what year your bike is, but if interested in a display stand, front use on 08 and earlier I have one for sale....PM me if interested.

I don't why they couldn't be - But I have owned over 50 motorcycles & everyone of them the side stand has been on the left - I get on a horse from the left side - just the way it is out west

Good luck with your choice.
Get the Wheel Dock. I use it more than the side stand. Passenger gets on then you just ride off of it. Easy install also.
