The problem with the rod through the axle type means you can't use the paddock stand to remove the wheel like you can with the swingarm mounted bobbins.
Thanks for all of your replies. I've given it much thought. I contacted the fine folks at Pit Bull and they were immensely helpful. I value their opinion because of my experience with their stand I have for my R9T. They no longer make a stand for the 2016+ Bonnevilles due to the modern swing arm location of the brake caliper. I respect their opinion. So, I have ordered a center stand. Seems to be a bullet proof alternative. I can clean and adjust my chain. And, remove the rear wheel. $336. Looks like I will be adding several lbs. to the weight of the bike. C'est la vie!
