So are these pretty "secure" on the floor in the garage without having to bolt them down or anything like that?
Thinking of getting one for my dad for XMAS, and possibly one for myself just for use in the garage. Mainly for an easy way to park it in the garage and whatnot.
In my case, I park between the space between my car and the garage wall in our two car garage, it's not too tight, but it would be nice to have this kind of thing and back into it with the rear wheel and have it stand up and take up less space.
Question: On the HF website is says it fits widths 80-127W. My dad's Ultra has a 130 front tire...so is that gonna work?

I've got a problem with mine. My garage floor has the rustoleum brand expoxy on it. It's too slippery for get the bike off the unit; it just slides along the floor. I'm gonna have to fasten it to the concrete floor or maybe the block header along the wall. I had to wait for "the Bitch that fell off..." to get home from work. She stood on the cross arms (of the unit) so I could jerk the bike off it. When the bike is on it though, it seems very stable. Just what I was looking for at a very reasonable price. I'd give it an 'A'.

Could just get a piece of plywood big enough for the whole bike to sit on, paint it black or something and then mount that stand on it. Then your bike can pull up onto the plywood and when you back out, it probably wouldn't slide.

That's a great suggestion! I missed it. I'm picky about my garage and drilling holes in it. Plus I want the ability to move it and the bikes around. During the summer, part of my 2 1/2 car garage is occupied by my fishin' boat. It's stored elsewhere for the winter. I will buy another of those units for my wifes FatBoy.

It also addresses the issue of someone not wanting the tires to sit on the cold concrete floor it that matters to you.
Here is a pic. Not the best but I think it shows the basic idea.
