I originally had the Lock & Load, which is very similar to the Harbor Freight model. Twice now, while unloading my CVO, the cradle came free from the mount and damaged my front fender. I moved to the Condor, as CVO fenders are not cheap.

+5 on the harbor freight one, been in my trailer for five years not a problem. Can be hard to get out of sometimes. I have used it with my heritage and ultra.

Hey guys, I included a link for a motorcycle chock. Saw this thing in sturgis about 8 years ago when the guy was just developing it. I have thought about it ever since and will eventually get one. It is definately more expensive, and maybe not even appropriate for this thread, but you might be as impressed with it as I was / am. I think that they actually advertise the bike upside down and still controlled by this Chock. It's pretty awesome. Let me know what you think of it.

Really good idea, but all I can think about is all the training hours Navy pilots go through to land a plane on an aircraft carrier, especially in the dark.

I hear ya and see your point, but it seems really simple once it's set up. That's what I remembered from the first time I saw it at Sturgis.

I've had all three, the Condor, the $39 HF chock and the $59 HF chock.


The Condor is a beautiful piece of workmanship, quality all the way. The $59 HF chock will do everything the Condor will, it just doesn't do it as pretty.


I wouldn't have the $39 HF chock. My Street Glide tire kept getting wedged in that hoop style, it really pinches the tire hard and yes I had it adjusted properly.


I park my bike in this every day and it sets in it all winter...

I certainly agree with all Viper said.

I have the Condor (see Heritage pic below) and I think if money's no object then it's the way to go, but for $59 the HF one should do the job just fine.
If I had known about the HF one I would not have bought the Condor.
But I came across the Condor while buying another Harley item from a guy so it was more of an impulse buy.

I have the HF wheel chock installed on the lift table and it works great. Been on there for several years and never had an issue with it. I have used it with numerous models of bikes as well.

I use the condor and you usually get what you pay for. It's been copied lots of times but it was the first of it's kind that I seen. I like the secure bracket it mounts to in the trailer and the ability to loosen a wing nut to move it into the shop for upright parking to save space. I also like to support American manufacturing.

I've looked at the other locking systems out there but I like this one. Has anybody used it yet?
I would like to know your opinion of the unit. Thanks.
