Phil: I was really annoyed that my 02 America didn't come with a center stand. Mostly because it made it difficult to work on my chain. But they weren't even available then.
I've never worried about the oil level. The bike just doesn't leak or burn oil. And if I was worried, it wasn't too hard to pull it up while checking the level. What I ended up doing was buying a bike/atv lift from Sears for $100 bucks. I can service my chain and work on the rest of my bike easily. Lifting it up makes it a lot easer to wash
too.
