I have the HD version made by Condor and it holds the bike real well but is a bit harder to get into than I want.
The problem is not necessarily an issue with the chock but the lift I have is not that long so the rear tire is still coming up the ramp when the front is hitting the chock. This means that you have to a bit aggressive getting it in but after a few times it is not a big deal.
I have been doing some research for a lift and a chock. When I am ready I am going with the Wheel Dock Chock. It is easy to enter and exit. You don"t have to rock the bike to make the front tire go up and over the fulcrum point of the chock. Plus once the wheel hits the stop you press a lever on the floor and the back part rises by itself and locks it in. Google it. It sure impressed me. The down side of this chock is not being able to adjust for different width tires. You order it for your specific bike.
I have the $29 model from Harbor Freight on my lift table. I ride in and get off. I use a couple of ratchet straps before lifting the table. It's easy to back out of. It's adjustable for different size wheels.
I also have the Harbor Freight chock. Works well for my Evo bikes with the smaller brake discs. What I found with my 2010 RG and larger dual discs is I need to carefully center the tire in the chock or one disc will hit the brace.
Going to unbolt the chock and bend it out, and reattach to get the clearance I need. If you have a wrap fender check the clearance on the flip up brace or it may catch.
Had harbor freight chock and was good for my Sportster. I could pull it back out and over. The street glide however...,had hard time pulling that one over. Got the Wheelock.....Best money spent! Google it....
