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.
It didn't work well with my Pitbull Jack, that's why I removed it and sold it.
I love my EZ UP Stand....had it about 4 months and then today I went to put it on the stand and the foot lever was already on the ground....contacted wheel dock and they said I broke it....I'm 63 and didn't think I could do that...oh well...they said send it back and they will repair it like new...only $35 to cover shipping
Can any of you owners show us pics of the stand itself, and then the bike on the stand?
I also own BMW's, every one of them has a center stand and it is a great convenience for washing the wheels, storing the bike with a smaller footprint, and a bunch of other reasons stated by folks above.......
Once you figure out the weight transfer thing, getting the bike up on the center stand is no biggie with the Beemers, I would assume it is the same with the EZ stand?

Lifetime warranty on the stand. It is up to them to prove you broke it. $35 for shipping seems a little high......

I have had one on several ultras now. A 7/16 inch piece of OSB is what is needed to get the rear wheel off of the ground for washing. It is nice to drive off of the stand but you will find as your tire wears down you'll have to push it off the stand.
It does grind somewhat on some sharper curves but no big deal for me. Take it easy over speed bumps also.
Their lifetime warranty is somewhat questionable. Last fall the chrome lever bent causing it to strike the ground before the bike was on the stand. They said no way was it their fault and I had to pay something like 40 or $50 to have them replace it. I thought this was total BS as I use it the same way all the time for years with no problem.
My bike seems like it wants to roll forward a bit, even on a very slight grade with the standard stand, which is unnerving to me.
It does roll a little. There is a little play in the slot of the jiffystand. Can be unerving at times, especially for a passenger getting on while the bike is leaned over on the jiffy stand. I always make double sure the jiffy stand is in that lock slot. I've been considering a center stand but I have the lowered shocks so I'm concerned about ground clearance.

A lot of places are like that. Not really standing behind their product.
Always put the blame on the customer. Where I work the customer is always right. We take some hits from unscrupulous customers but the company feels that's better than them out there on the web badmouthing our product.
have one on mine and love it but was warned about leaving it up on it because if someone happened to lean on it or bump it it could roll off and fall , made sence so I watch were I use it
