Make sure that the front wheel is held by a secure chock (which may or may not be included with every brand of table lift) to begin with, and then if you feel like adding a couple of straps, they are plenty secure to hold any bike at full height, for any kind of work you need to do.
All the best,

I have the harbor Freight table lift and it works well, feels kinda wobbly at low or mid lift but once up in a height that you would use to work on a bike it feels very sturdy. The wheel chock that comes with it is laughable at best so i use tie down straps to secure the bike. I have had multiple dynas and several road kings and street glides on there, doubt an ultra would pose any issue. Those bikes had full exhaust changes and other work so yes plenty of jerking on exhaust pipes and loosening tight bolts and other things that would move the bike around but it has never felt anything other than stable. The lift also has a security bar to slide in incase there were a jack failure. Its not as nice as the more expensive lifts but its also a lot more affordable

Lots of folks on here talk stuff about HF products and that could be because they spent the big bucks on nicer units. A month ago I bought the table lift and have been using it constantly with no problems. It was $285.00 on sale. Yes, the wheel lock is useless so I bought a better one and also use tie downs. Am very happy with my purchase!

It's pretty narrow, and side extensions no longer available, so I made some walk boards out of 2x12's and conduit. Slide them on, ride the bike up on the lift, strap the bike down and remove the boards to access the jack pedal. When done, I lower the lift, install the boards, remove the straps and walk the bike back off.
