I have a Condor at home, and a wheeldock in my trailer, neither one of these works on a wrap a round fender, scratched my fender twice due to the inability of they docks to work, called wheeldock, they said hey sorry we don't support wrap fenders, called Condor, its a fix with a different rocker part, but scratched my fender, so it cost over $400 dollars to have my fender painted twice due to poor engineering with these two companies, I'm disappointed with both of them!

Here are a couple pics of my Street Glide in my Condor PS-1500 (I use it for a parking space in my chick’s garage), with the as supplied chock (not the ‘chopper’ one), and the HD wrapped fender. Have the pivot pin on the third hole from the entry side, has about 1.25” of clearance to the trailing edge of the fender.

You have a wrap around fender and you're disappointed with two companies who make the wheel chocks ....?

You've seen how they work , right?

You assumed a wheel chock would work with your wrap around fender.... but it didn't... it damaged your fender

And you did it twice.....?

Yeah, the problem isn't with "poor engineering".... just sayin...

I bought two harbor freight chocks and loaded the trailer for Daytona, did not bolt them down but strapped the bikes (2) properly, kept checking them about every hundred miles just to be safe, made it all the way and neither bike budged an inch. Pretty happy I spent $120 on both chocks compared to over $500 for the condors.

I have a Wheeldock chock and I use it in my trailer, unmounted with 4 straps. The dock is secure against the front of the trailer. Where's it, or the bike going to go?

I have 2 Condors. Never bolted them down in my toy hauler when I had it.

Now I use them when hauling in my cargo trailer with either 1 or 2 bikes. Don't bolt them down in the cargo trailer either. I always use 4 ratchet straps & 2 friction straps for each bike (frictions used up front; when the ratchets are released they will let go all tension at once, frictions can be released slowly to keep the mirrors from bouncing off the side walls). Never had an issue with movement or loosening. Always check after about 50 miles & re-snug everything, then they stay put for the 1,200+ miles to western SD & back every year.
