Plus 1 on the plywood, but I think I would use 3/4 plywood. And use the full sheet.

I use this on my 03 Ultra with no problems. If you're careul you can also use a jack (I use a floor jack with a short 2x4) to jack up the bike's rear end enough to spin the wheel during cleaning.

I can understand just the bike falling over if not seated in properly but both the bike and the chock... So BEWARE, I now have the chock lag bolted down to the floor. This is the way it was designed to be used. When I first bought the chock and ran the bike up on it I thought " hmmmm how about that, it seems stable enough without bolting it down ". WRONG THINKING.

If you live by yourself you better change your locks. Or move - because you are in a violent quake zone.

Thanks

I don't have a King, but at first glance, it does look like it will, but doesn't come close on my EGC.
