wells, do you feel confident leaving it on the wheeldock if other non bike people walk near it? I am paranoid that if I leave it on the stand if someone lightly bumps it that it will fall. It doesn't lock in like the jiffy right?

You'd probably have to run into it pretty hard from the rear or have it facing down hill to have it knocked off the stand. Leaving the side stand deployed is another bit of insurance if you're worried.

This was one of my concerns too. I'm surprised at how sturdy it is when on the stand. I certainly wouldn't use it anywhere but a level surface though.

You'll have to more than lightly bump

Yes the Way it sits and the location it is on the Bike ...Alot of Weight is toward the rear locking it in. With the Bike in Gear , Your not knocking that off unless you get hit by a Car

I'd say No Problem

Bushy - it is good to see it made in the USA- but so is most of you HD... you have no idea what you are talking about saying it is not.

Unfortunately the same can't be said about the motor clothes.
