Don't think I'd scratch the frame with it Lew.
I did have a few wobbly moments hooking the bike up. If you don't take care with it you could drop the bike trying to hook it up, but I think I have the hang of it now.
It won't hook up off the centre stand. So basically you slide it in roughly with the bike on the side stand. Retract the side stand and manoeuvre the stand in closer and hook up. You need to raise the stand a little on the pump to hook up, but once I've determined the exact height for my bike I'm gonna put a mark on the stand so I won't need to faff about getting that height spot on. Then you pop the brakes on (an easy mistake to forget), walk round the other side and slip the bar on and slide into the swing arm mount (will be a doddle once I have the mark), tighten it up and bingo. Put the other bar and strap on (if raising horizontally), pump away, slip the pin in and take the pressure off the jack. That's it.
There's good demos on their web site showing you how it's done.
