Always in the saddle! I never ever try and move my EG standing next to it. These big heavy bike only need to get past a few degrees of tilt to be past the point of balance and you will not be able to keep it from falling unless you're straddling it. You don't want to lose a zero mph wrestling match in the garage.

I have a HF mounted on my trailer. It's a pain in the *** to get it off the mount. I have moved the handlebars wanking it so hard.....and I have a backrest on the bike (which helps).

I've got 2 of those, try adjusting the bolt holes, it makes a big difference. One is bolted into the trailer no problems. The one I have in my garage slid around on the epoxied floor. Since I move it around frequently, bolting it to the floor wasn't an option. I put a piece of scrap siding under it and use the weight of the bike to hold it in place.

That's how I do it with a heavy Ultra.

I have two of them, one bolted to the trailer and the other bolted to a 2' X 4' piece of 3/4 plywood that I use in the garage. I have a 2x4 3' lg bolted the each side going from the plywood back along side the bike. I ride the bike into the chock and when ready to get the bike out of the chock. I strattle the bike, put my feet on the 2x4's and pull back, and the bike will come out of the chock. If you don't have the 2x4's to stand on or the chock bolted down, it will just slide around on the floor.

I asked during thethe coupon thread if it needed to be bolted down before I bought it and was told no.....it woulda made the diff me buying mine. I'm changing residence and its not coming outta the box till I do....geezus is anything simple without having to McGyver it anymore.

Your method appears the most desirable if you want it movable....once the weight of the bike is on it there's no moving it.
