I have one that is a pain to use. Twice we had to take the chock apart to get the bike off of it. I tried every adjustment on it, nothing worked. I looked at it closely then seen the problem. The rear part that swivels was welded on a angel. I also check the angle for the rear portion of it and it was rather steep.
I usually just make mine because they are so easy to make.
If the bike isn't locking onto the chock, it's the weight that makes it work, then you are out of adjustment. Check your alignment on the rear tire lock.

Thanks, I moved the bracket to the second hole and it holds the bike much better. My only problem now is getting the thing out of the wheel chock. Pretty much takes two people and some real muscle to push it back out of the chock. I have seen other people have this issue. Any ideas?? Thanks again.

Try spinning the "chock" 180 degrees. Its a bit longer on one side.
I have the same one for my fat Bob and it works great, no issues. I also use the second from the last hole. I use this in the garage instead of the side stand all the time.
One thing I did was removed the silly plastic feet and glued an old rubber bed mat to the bottom so it doesn't slide around.
There is no way the bike is falling out of it.

I've got the same HF lift table and black wheel chock. Ive got a 19" front wheel and a Low Rider and mine is set to the last position but I still think it could be tighter. I have seen where others are able to pull their bikes into the chock and not tie them down and they are sturdy.
I know this post is a little old but what size front wheel did you have on your Dyna?
