Question, does this center stand make washing, wrenching on the bike, or changing oil easier?

I would think so since you can place a 1/4 inch piece of plywood under the Wheeldock stand and if gets the tires off the ground.

Default Question for you
Whats the benefit of a centre stand - you guys seem to love it! Never thought of getting one - what am i missing?

Also how hard is to put your bike on it? I had one on my old 500 cc enfield and that wasnt easy so I figured it would be impossible for me to use one on an 800 pound bike

thanks!

The advantages for me are: 1) a passenger can step right up on the footboards and saddle up with ease. Then the rider can get on next. So easier for riding 2 up. 2) bike is sitting straight up so it takes up a lot less space in the garage 3) very stable, bike doesn't wiggle at all if you bump it a little 4) can raise tires off the ground by placing the plywood under the stand allowing easier access to bottom of bike 5) at gas stations on the center stand you can fill up your tank completely. Some have already mentioned they fill up their tank sitting on the bike but I do not like to do that.

It takes about 2 minutes to install the EZ Up stand from Wheeldock and it takes minimal effort to get my Ultra Classic on the stand. I love my Wheeldock EZ Up.

As a precaution I always park my Ultra and put it in 1st gear since somebody wrote that they can roll off the EZ stand.Other than that I'm happy with it.

Nice looking product but I use a J&S jack a lot - I think it would interfere with it's placement.

I have thought about getting one of these. Sounds like a good product. I still have time before the ice melts, maybe I could get one ordered.

On my 07 the jack works better with the stand, it brings the rear tire up at about the same time as the front. Before it seemed too low in the back. The jack also goes under the bike easier straight up on the center stand.
