I store mine on my cheapo HF jack for the winter without any issues. I have done it for the past 3 winters without any issue. I do use the locks on it to keep the weight off of the actual jack.

Not according to what I have read in several publications. Claims were the TIRES (American for tyres) get flat spots. That being said, as long as the bike is raised. But I have no personal experience as I ride my bike year round. I think the latest HOG magazine may have a write up on this but could have been one of my other magazines.

I've been riding since the 60s! Admittedly I rode all year round back then, but since the 70s I have had several bikes at any one time, with only one being used year round. I have never had any problems with flat spots with those I left unused for the winter months. We didn't know about flat spots back then! Now we know they are not a problem, we jack bikes up. Longer term storage would make doing that worthwhile.
