I've seen two of my bikes roll on the kickstand and they both stayed upright on the stand, one went forward, the other went backwards. Trust me when I tell you, HD makes the best kickstand in the industry.

Trust it, it's a quality design and works very well.
I do roll the bike forward and back by habit, just to make sure it's locked in.
Never had one fail on me!

+1 on the Harley jiffy stand

Be careful if you stand the bike up off the stand and move it that the stand stays in the locked position.

I did just that to get the tire valve in a location to check tire pressure. With pressure off of the stand, it moved out of the locked position. You can guess what happened next.

I feel the same way about my kick stand on my 2012 FLHTK. Found there is a guy that makes a different part for the stand that makes it open about 10 further forward. Works great and makes my head happy when I park. It flicks it way open like my other bagger (RIP) did. Was about 10.00 and really easy to put on. I found it mentioned on here, but my Google Fu is failing me now.
