Thanks for the heads up will check the set screws when i go out to the shop this afternoon.

[Para Bellum]

Got my WheelDock CS-4 and installed it on my lowered SEUC3.  See reply #12 for first part of this.  "Ride" report:

1.  Installation: I had to have extra hands to hold the stand in place while starting the bolts, b/c I couldn't find anything the right size and shape to hold the 'nut w/ centering washer' in place  (see the install video at http://wheeldock.com/prod_EZ.shtml) to see what I'm talking about).  Install went fine then.

2.  Function:  Works great.  Much easier to get a foot on the lever than with the Rivco.  The feet are a much better shape than the Rivco to let them go down and "plant" themselves, and it's very stable when down.  Works great for ride-off.

3.  Conclusion:  Perfect for me and my situation.  I'd definitely do it again, and the price is good, too.

Thanks for the web link.  Would really like to see this thing deployed and stowed on a member's machine.

I picked up a wheeldock ez-up after seeing it in this thread, came in Friday and went on no problem, another set of hands would have been nice like somebody mentioned, but I managed alone.  The bike goes up on it easy from the seat and easier standing next to the bike.  Drive off is no problem either.  Haven't had a chance to push the bike to see if it'll drag yet, sure hope it doesn't.  A place on ebay has em for $239+shipping, the lever is black though, not chrome.

Totaly adjustable and the price isn't bad.

Agree Drago, and then it must....pretty much disappear when stowed.  I'm just sayin'.

A friend of mine just installed one of these on his bike.  He told me the easy way was to just stick a piece of tape on the nuts to hold them in place to start the bolts.  He said that knowing to do that made this less than a 5 minute job installing his.  I guess I'll find out...I think I'm going to order the Wheeldock center stand today.

I bought one of the vwowv center stands too.  It was on sale from the company, but I had to cut the foot lever off, and it's hard to get your foot under it.  It wasn't made for the foot pegs on the CVO bikes.
Personally, I don't recommend this stand.  I had problems with the owner of the company when I tried to get the lever specially bent to work with the CVO.  (After telling the company owner that it didn't fit with my bike, he offered to have one specially bent to work with my bike.)
The one he sent was bent a few degrees, but not enough to clear the passenger floorboard.  Also, the part was left powdercoated where it inserts into the stand.  (I was told to remove the powder coating with a knife!)  I finally did that, but what a pain that was!  Plus I didn't get the plastic part that goes on the end of the lever.  I asked to have another one sent out and was assured it would be in the mail.  I never received it. 
Interesting point, the designer of this stand fitted one on my '06 CVO Ultra and had a special arm that worked withthe stand.  He also used to own the company, but evidently sold it.  He claimed Wheel Dock pirated his design.

I just looked under the bike and the tape idea made sense for my friend's 08 model, but I don't see that working for the 09's.  It looks like it could be pretty tough to mount these on the 09's.  There is no room above the crossmember like there was on the older models.  I didn't notice anyone in this thread with an 09.  Has anyone installed one on an 09?  I think I'm holding off now until I hear from someone that can explain how you get the nut in place and hold it there to start the bolts.

I have a center stand sitting in my garage, bot it for my 07 and never installed it. I too have looked under my 09 and said "no way".  maybe i'll try it again so we can find out if it fits

PS. I'm not sure which one i have, it was awhile back when i bot it

They have a different stand altogether for the 09.  I would have to assume that the one for your 07 will not work on there.  It looks like an entirely different crossmember on the 09.  Wheeldock has a separate part # for 09 and the photo of it looks different that the older ones too.  I'd say your best bet is to list if for sale if you don't have the 07 anymore.

Thank you, then I won't bother ....

Finally got to see a bike with one of these centerstands......both deployed and stowed.......like I mentioned earlier.  Kept having visions of Goldwings.  And I couldn't get those rusty bottoms out of my head that appear once the stand is stowed.  Nope.  I'll keep my stock jiffy stand.  I have a jack and a lift if I need the bike upright.

I have a like new Harley adjustable center stand that I bought frome someone on this forum and didn't use if someone is interested.  They had it on a bike that was sold and removed it.  It looks like new.  Sells for $329 new at Harley.  If someone is interested I wouls take $200 shipped.  I was waiting untill the weather warmed up to sell it on ebay.
