Front wheel chock for garage.?.

From what you describe, the center-stand is probably a very smart move. Especially that your bike will be left-to-right instead of straight in. I have the Wheel Dock (3 of them) and it's the only way we're getting all the bikes in one garage. Well, nowadays the center bike gets parked on the lift, but still.
Only problem with the Wheel Dock is the cheesy way the release lever is fastened to the unit and that it often gets jammed behind the mechanism. It's not adjustable for size other than to slip in some spacers for narrower tires. Oh, wait, the MAJOR problem with it is the edges of the metal that were cut before the welding. The manufacturer, for some really stupid reason, did not de-bur any of the edges. I have the scars on my legs to prove it! Should you happen to walk by the unit and it hits you, it will slice you open. Other than the cheesy release lever and the leg slicing sharp metal edges, it's the easiest out there to use. I've devised fixes for issues, but implemented them yet. Remember, I need to fix three!
Or............................ buy a house with a bigger garage and forget the center stand. You can lay claim to most expensive upgrade for your ride!

I have the same tight fit garage scenario and store my steet glide on a jack. Initially thought it would be a real PITA but actually I can just roll it out and spin it around 180º let it down and ride it out. The casters on the jack allow me to push it right up against the wall.
