Big fenders on some model bikes and the chock wings don't always get along. I bought the cycle gear version and it clears by inches between my big road king fender and top of that post
..... just a be careful note

Condor makes an excellent chock, I use the basic adapter kit and the e track in my trailer. It’s nice to be able to use the same chock in the garage and the trailer.

Things to note when you are trailering and have found the Chock you like:
1. Make a set of wooden braces that fit snug under your bikes frame before tying them down. Use a 4X4 and maybe a 1X4 or 2X4 together, then when you tie them down they will sit on the brace that spans the under frame much like the biker hitch bar. You can cover them with rubber or felt so as not to damage the frame paint.
2. Do not have your bike in gear while trailering as a slight rocking back & forth will bleed out the lifters and will create quite the racket on startup.
3. Don't forget to put your bike's security system in trailer mode so the battery does not run down.

I use 4 of these on my flatbed trailer.

The mountings that stay on the trailer are a little time consuming to install but with an assistant you can have them installed fairly quickly and once installed they lay very closely to the floor easily allowing the trailer to be used for other purposes once the chocks are removed.
The "chocks" have a 4 small pegs that simply slide into the floor mountings and the weight of the bike holds them in place along with tension on the tie-down straps holding forward pressure on the bike.
Loading a bike alone requires a little more time and effort than with some other chocks but your trailer will NOT be a dedicated "bike" trailer with permanently mounted bike wheel chocks.
