Default Wrapped front fender question

Thinking about a wrapped fender on my road glide. Will it interfere with putting the front wheel in a chock? Will the chock hit the fender? I use a harbor freight chock.

I had a HF, and ended up taking a grinder to the entry chock and cutting most of the ears off it, to clear the fender. Really no need for it to be is long as it is anyway.

I asked about the Wheel Dock recently in This Thread, and was told that wrapped fenders work with this one

I ran a HD Wrapped on my Road Glide Special, can't say about the wheel chocks but, the trailing edge of the fender and speed bumps did not play nice together.

You can give them (wheel dock)specifics for your aftermarket fender and they will accommodate from what I hear

If my chock can be modified I can do that, it's just a harbor freight so no biggie. The speed bump thing is something else to consider. Anyone else have that issue?
