Good Luck with your venture.
Get a film star or rock star interested and you have it made.
Just an idea.

Condor makes a pretty good one now. It holds your bike straight up. You can then move it if need be to a trailer or what ever the case may be.

However you can't lock a bike when it is straight up. So then you have to bolt it to where you want to park it, and then put a bull hook in the floor and then cable it through there, as a 1%er once told me that the more precautions you take to keep your bike with locks and such, the more of a chance you will get to keep it.

Thank you for the feedback. Hopefully I will see a few more "yeses" over the next few days. You guys have brought up some good points and shipping will really be the challenge for a nation wide market. I am not sure how I could get that to work since they will be pretty heavy. I really need to get a couple of samples made. I figure that there is all types of people out there and that maybe some of the folks with the high-end choppers might be more interested.

If they can be anchored, why not make them out of some thermoplastic so they don't weigh a hundred pounds?

instead of a 400lb roughly 36" chunk of concrete that needs two bubbas and a flatbed to deliver, why not have some bikini girls cast them on site with a ready mix truck and some forms

bending over trowling them by hand

stamping the custom graphics in by hand, bending over of course

much more entertaining almost as good as mud wrestling

parking bumpers made of recycled plastic have been around for a long time.
Personalizing them is a great idea, most people would just paint their name, etc with a contrasting color.
good luck
