I watched the video again. Near the floor there's a cross member with holes in each end. My guess is the holes are tie-down points for securing the bike to the stands?

The stands actually lock the wheels in and appear to be very stable.

I know this isn't about the stands like you said but, I like what they allow you to do. I'm sure the bike can be tied down. Cleaning and fixing is tough without a jack, and a jack when used is in the way most of the time. I bought a table because I'm tired of climbing around on the floor. For you guys that can still do it without a problem, and no table, this is good stuff and takes up no room. Again, I know it isn't about the stands, but it kinda is, and their benefits. Thanks for the info!

Hey John! Great to hear from you, it's been a long time. When is a good time to call? I have a 479 area code now so when I do call it won't show it's me if you still have my old number in your phone. I've written down you number if you want to edit it out of the post.

I'm not really seeing a big advantage of that product over a motorcycle dolly. Sure, that product will get your motorcycle higher in the air compared to a motorcycle dolly, but I bet the motorcycle dolly is more stable.
