Trailer chocks
Will be needing some chocks for my new trailer. Are the more costly self locking cradle chocks worth the extra money. If so, which manufacturer gives you the most for your money. If you go for the standard chock, does it matter which one you buy. Since it is a utility trailer, I will need to remove it. What is the best way of going about that. Also, is it necessary for a chock for the rear wheel. Is a stone guard a good thing to install. if so would going with a V shape or something similar to a snowmobile guard give me the best protection. One other thing, the trailer's ramp sticks way up in the air. How hard would it be to have the ramp cut in half hinged and put back together to make it more aerodynamic. Thanks Ken

We set up our trailer with t-nuts in the floor. Buy them at ace hardware or fastenal. The nut sits flush in the floor when you take the chock out. They work really slick. I use a chock from harbor freight. If I had all the money in the world, I'd buy a wheeldock. They are expensive but worth it. My dad bought one and I really like it.

+ 1 on the condor, the pstk 6400 is all aluminum and comes with the quick trailer detach mount. when not trailering put it in the garage and just drive in it keeps the bike upright giving more room and it works great when your alone strapping your bike down, plan on spending about $220 for one , you wont be disappointed,,..o~' o

Condor worked for me!
When I brought home my bike last spring, my buddy loaned me his Condor. It worked easily and performed flawlessly. And since the bike was new to me, I was nervous about the trip. Once we securely tied the bike down (easily, I might add!) even I relaxed!
I intend to add one of my own to my utility trailer for those rare incidences when I choose to trailer the bike. A great product!

An alternative to look at is the Pingel line of wheel chocks. I have their removable wheel chock for my toy hauler. It works great for less than $40. I am not expecting the wheel chock to do anything other than hold the motorcycle from moving forward. I use my straps to secure the mc from moving side-to-side, etc. Pingel has a more expensive "locking" type of chock that deserves consideration as well.

I use the harbor freight cheap wheel chock. 2 bikes in the trailer, Road King and Heritage Softail. over 20,000 kms of towing to and from Daytona and no problems.
Ride into the chock, get off, it holds your bike up, strap the rear floor boards to the floor pulling forward on a bit of an angle....Done
