Took the plunge....bought Wheeldock
I bought the Harbor Freight wheel chock several years ago. It worked well on my Sporty. Either ride it in or push it up and over the rocker and it held the bike upright. Now with my Street Glide, I find it's extremely difficult to pull out of the chock without help. So I started looking at other options and found the Wheeldock unit. It has a gas piston that helps to hold the rear rocker up, and most important, the rear rocker lays flat! the bike rolls in and rolls right out. No pulling up and over the rocker!! If I weren't electronic idiot, I would post pictures. but I copied the web site that started my search....this is pretty much exactly what it is, what I ordered, and what arrived. a bit pricey....well a lot pricey, but I like to stand the bike up for certain service work and cleaning. to me, it's another tool. It arrived Friday.... heavy box.... open it up and it's just the Wheeldock chock. That's it! no fancy packaging, all assembled, popped in 4 plastic covers and placed on the floor and it was ready to go. It took longer to cut the box up for disposal than it did to unpack and run my bike into it. works just as claimed. Pushed in, step on the lever, and walk away. Step on the release lever and roll it back out. easy peasy!!!
Bottom line is this: this is a tool I thought long and hard about. did my research, and feel this was the best I found. I'm happy.

Been using Wheeldocks for years; never looked back. No load on suspension, E-Z in and out (allows me to load our bikes alone) Expensive? Yeah; so's our bikes, our peace of mind and our time.
I even modify 1" ratchet straps by removing the tail piece and hooks, bolt the long piece back on and use it as a loop; also cut off a bunch. Dedicated to the Wheeldocks only.
In defense of trailering; we usually haul 500 miles of 4 lane south from where we live waaay up north to start our tours.
