Harry years ago I was on a Norton mailing list, a member had his show winning Commando on a similar (not exactly the same) stand to mine and went inside for dinner, he came out half an hour later and it had toppled off the fully jacked up lift. It landed upside down, he lost both instruments, tank, bars and other stuff that I forget.
So to answer the question, I think it will sit in the front wheel chock but I'm not about to test it when I have plenty of tie-downs at hand.
Belt and braces for me when it comes to such things.

fair enuff, that incident would make ya sit down and weep.
As stated it was a show winning bike and the day before the annual Norton show Day in Sydney, real bummer.
Now back to cleaning my bike just now, took it off the lift, rode it to town to top-up the fuel up and warm the chain in preparation for a good lube.
WARNING, when your chain lube won't spray out of the can don't take the lid off and poke a nail into the top.
That stuff is so hard to get off your glasses.

ya gotta be kinda glad it was your glasses that got grubby.
Yeah, my goggles did help, the stuff isn't acidic or dangerous just not good up your nose and the taste lingers.
Turned out that the white nozzle (holding in the photo) was blocked, compressed air got it working again. Twas worth it as the tin is 75% full.
