I have had a Condor for some time and love it.
FYI for those that say it's hard backing out of, probably because u have it in the wrong setting.
I.e. If you have it in the 2nd position move it to the 3rd.
First position is the tightest and it lessons as you move it back

Wheeldock:
I like being able to secure the bike to the chock and the chock is secured to the floor. NO suspension loading. We even put a camera in the trailer once; bikes like to bounce on rougher roads; but with just the lower legs tied to the Wheel Dock they rode fine. Take a lot of straps and suspension loading to keep them secure otherwise. I know it's been done that way for years, but maybe I just like the simplest answer to the question. Use them in the garage, too. Easy in and out alone without being secured to the floor. Of course, if that gas cylinder fails...

I've had 2 condors for 8 years. No problems. Use in trailer and garage. If you have issues getting it out of the stand, like it has been stated, it's simply an adjustment. One person operation. Simple clean and sturdy.

I use the Condor in my garage for the FXST but needed to buy the smaller chopper cradle for the front wheel. The Street Glide fits in it as well with the standard size cradle. No issues backing out of it so long as you have the cradle in the right hole. Just experiment a few times and you'll get it out no problem. It's so secure in the trailer that only a minimal amount of straps are required to keep the bikes secure.
