Not me but I'm very interested in it as I had an Ezy Up centre stand on my Harley Elegrad Glide and it was a gem. I'm not going to commit myself on buying one unless I can get some feedback on it.

I have ordered one. Should arrive any time now. I will post some feedback when I get it installed.

So I got it and it's installed. Pros, tucks up nicely behind the engine, not taking up ground clearance that the Victory one seems to. Also adjustable height is a nice feature. It is very nicely built, and operates relatively easily. As far as cons go, there are few. It was a bit of a chore to install. It took me 1.5 to 2 hours from start to finish. I do have a lot of tools at my disposal, and a lift made it so much easier. Instructions are clearly written, but lack any photos of the steps for installation. If you have better than fair mechanical ability and some sockets and wrenches, you should be able to install yourself. This is the first bike I have owned with a center stand, I can clearly see the advantages. It takes up alot less space when parked in the garage. I also would say, but haven't done it yet, that it will make washing easier. Overall I would give the Witchdoctors Center Stand high marks for quality and usefulness.

Hello VictoryTCrider
Thanks for the feedback on the CentreStand. It looks that you are happy with it overall so I might bite the bullet and get one depending on the shipping costs to Australia which are phenominal sometimes. If I get one I'll also add to the thread.

Thanks again

Does the rear tire clear the ground when your bike is on the center stand?

This center stand is adjustable. I have it adjusted so the tires stay on the ground, but, I the tires are barely touching. I can spin the tires relatively easily, for cleaning and/or spinning the tire to get to the valve stem. Also it does make cleaning much easier, especially on the left side, as it isn't leaning that way on the side stand.

Right after I bought my 2012 Vic XCT in Jan. I inquired about the center stand from Vic, and had a Vic Rep. tell me he stated with the center stand installed on my bike, I may have clearance issues in corners, and on winding roads.

Hope this helps.

Clearance is not an issue at all with the Witchdoctor center stand.
