They should be lose enough, so that section swivels as you roll your front tire into the chock.

It might even be a pin going through the holes, with a cotter pin holding it in place. Hard to tell

No pin in those, there is 3 holes for adjustment for different sized tires.

I just snugged them up, never had any issues.

The Dyna front tire isn't wide enough to stand up safely so be careful. My wife's Heritage will free stand all day long, but my Superglide tire will allow the bike to tip partially in the chock.

I have a Heritage and just picked up this chock from Harbor Freight. The directions aren't very specific when it comes to adjustments for tire sizes. What hole of the 3 on the pivot would you use? Does it hit the bottom of the fender on the way up? Or am I just being to cautious?

Heritage will use the bottom hole.

Clearance in not an issue.

Once you slap it in a few times, you'll get used to it.

Finally put the Heritage in the HF Chock. Used the lowest hole and no issues with fender clearance. It does take a little getting used to getting it in there. A little awkward getting out, but it comes out just fine. Thanks again Toypuller.
