I just bought a HD Ultra, and was wondering about puting a hd center stand under her. I have a older BMW with a center stand and loved having it.
There are 2 -3 different stands on the market and wanted to know if anyone was using any of them
Thanks

I have the one made by Rivco. Do a google search for Rivco Center Stands and you will find dealers for it. Install is about 10 minutes..... easy to use if on the flat (don't use it on inclines unless you have 2 people......to either put it up or take it down, cuz one time will be against the hill...and pretty embarassing if you can't get the bike of the stand yourself!). I don't like the looks of the one HD sells....just my opinion. Good luck!!!

nope...got it up on stand, rear wheel off the ground on a slope (my driveway), could not get enuf A$$ on it to rock it enuf in ANY direction..... lucky for me, garbage collection was coming around....I had the garbage guy give me a push off center stand...... worked well to wash/wax, just not so good on the slope!!! Garbage guys thought it was pretty funny....  |

done some thing simular to that on my yammerhammer when i was young, it was the only stand i had, and that is how the tank got dented  but after that that was how i left the black marks for the principle to complain about the wheelies were kinda cool at that age too. but it didn't have enough power to maintain ethier |
