Hi All, does anyone use centre bike stands, I have just purchased my first Harley and are worried about all that weight on the side stands.

Also what stands for working on them what's the best?

Hi Robbo.

Dont worry about the weight of the bike or with you sitting on the bike while on the side stand. It will take the weight. Dont think Harley Davidson would put a bike out with a stand that could not hold the bike up. As for a stand to put the bike on to lift it up and work on,,,well they range from a couple of hundred bucks to full on standing height auto work benches. I have a jack lift from Repco that cost under $200 by memory and does just great to work on the bike. Just look around or search this site for examples from previous post's.

Cheers

Well I used the search button came up with this:
