Thats pretty much the design I was envisioning. For that price its probably not worth my effort to Jerry-rig my version.
I dont share Murphs concern over tip over. Maybe if there was a m6+ earthquake, or a 70mph wind in my garage, but for storage up against a wall, no problem I can see.
I thought I did,
What are you trying to do?
I thought you wanted a dolly you could move the bike around on, narrow enough to
tuck it into a slot and get it out of the way.
Guess I was mistaken.
How much room are you really gaining for the effort? I would take a measurement and then lay it out on floor to compare. Though maybe can push into a spot you couldn't normally get into?
I have a HF motorcycle dolly in my shop, and the Condor Trailer-Only Chocks in my toy hauler, and this same idea has been on my mind to try for a while. Maybe this thread will motivate me to go out and do a test fit to see if it would work.
I'd also like to find some better wheels for it, but anything taller would make it harder to load the bike.

Looking around, I saw a video of I guy who mounted a cheap ebay chock on a HF dolly. Seemed to like it. However seeing the unit that Jake24lt posted is making me second guess my "fab it" plan and considering just buying one.
