Default Wheel Chock question for my SG

Hello all, Looking at purchasing a Condor wheel chock, Have a wrap fender though. Will it hit the back of the fender? If so would appreciate suggestions on other chocks. Thank you

good thing you asked before buying- the condor ( at least the models I have seen) will hit that fender.

the condor is a handy locking type check...but straps should still be used...so get a $35 pingel type and use straps

I have two Condors, one in the garage for the bike, just drive into it and get off. I've trailered it with a steel one, works great but you will need straps. Two years ago ,two of us went from Michigan to Montana not problems.

Condor works great but don't think it will work with that fender.

I have a condor, 21" wheel with Fat Baggers fender, I don't have any problems, camera angle can distort as well. I will measure mine from floor up and send you a pm.

Could be the camera angle but that fender looks pretty low for a Condor.

I and at least 4 of my friends use the Harbor Freight wheel chock. NOT the little one one that you drive 'up to' but the one that you drive 'into', the rear flips up and holds your front tire in. You can get off, jump around, anything, the bike just sits there held in by the chock. I think they are around $50 or $60 when they are on sale. VERY WELL SPENT MONEY.

Mine has been in my trailers and in my toy hauler without problems. Hesitant to drill through the floor in my toy hauler, I just strap the chock in and all is fine. My bike has gone thousands of miles in the HF chock. NOTE: USE STRAPS! Do you need them? Who knows! Do you want to risk it?

If you're local to Colorado, I have two of the above mentioned HF wheel chocks I could get rid of. I'd probably give em away.

what bike? I bought one of the Harbor Freight ones this weekend for my Road Glide (2015) and the damm ramp would flip. Low profile stock tire. Almost seems like the ramp channel is too narrow.
