RE: Wheel Chock
Thanks Jim. From the picture it looked as if there was an adjustment for where the follower pivots in the base. Then again, if the wheel doesn't extend to the front of chock, I'm not sure how stable the unit will be. I'm anxious to hear about your results.

This looks JUST like the Bike Pro that I paid $150 for - right down to the mounting bracket. If it is in fact the same, they work great on baggers - even my Road King with the lowered Native Custom fender.

Not sure if this picture is of any help about hitting the bagger fender. http://www.motorcycleramps.com/image...ro-chock-9.jpg

RE: Wheel Chock
I bought one last week and used it to haul the Heritage Softail I just sold ~400 miles. It held great even through the huge bumps and craters through NY yesterday (Sunday).
You *must* adjust it for the size tire it's holding (before you put the bike on it) ... note the three holes where the fulcrum piece mounts. Since the FLSTC and FLHT both use the same size tire I can say you definitely need to move the swivel piece down to the lowest hole. Even the middle hole will keep the tire up in the air and a little less stable. Only tighten the side bolts/nuts on that fulcrum piece until they *just* start to cause a friction or you'll be spitting four-letter words when you try to get it out of the chock ... it's held pretty securely as designed (with the weight of the bike on that swivel) without "if a little snug is good then gorilla tight must be better" applied.
I strapped the front of the frame forward ... "just in case", and the rear of them frame out to the sides to keep it from rocking side-to-side. It was rock solid.
I realized once there in the store that the price was $60 vs $40 online. The desk jockey said the same as others have posted. "Just print the cheaper price out and bring it in and we'll credit you the difference." ... but that's the OL's job to deal w/ for me. ;-)
Happy travels,
Robert

It also will have to be anchored to the floor to get the bike on/off the chock. I was hoping it wouldn't slide around on the floor, but it does. I had to block the front to get the bike on and jack the bike up to get the chock out from under the wheel. I intend to anchor it to the floor, but not before I tried it for clearance from the fender, which doesn't appear to be a concern. It still looks like it will be a real chore to back it out of the chock.
Probably still a good buy for $40.

RE: Wheel Chock
Thanks for the information guys. I purchased it, and yes that 20% off coupon posted earlier was honored by my local Harbor Frieght store. For $32 I couldn't resist. I noticed that the base has an opening that would allow you to strap the wheel down. Now I'm going to try to construct a wheel harness that won't slip off the wheel and add extra protection when transporting.
