Wheel Chock
Harbor Freight has there wheel chock on sale w/coupon for $29.
I sware it looks just like the one from bike pro that I paid $130.
I don't know how they do it. It looks like a good buy for someone.
Just passin this along......

RE: Wheel Chock
It's done by using low labor costs an' cheap chinese steel. This ain't a slap at 'em, but rather an observation. China's current steel quality is similar to the early Japanese steel - receycled with VERY little in the way of quality control. I've bought pieces of machined steel that I've had to drill out and tap, and it's more like cast iron than steel....I'd be VERY leery of using it on any critical application.

RE: Wheel Chock
There was this one I saw at the International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach, CA. I wish I got the guys card because it looked like a good one. The guy rode a full dresser into it and got off and the bike was ROCK SOLID. That makes it real easy to tie down on the trailer. And dismounting was easy, just rock and pull back. It looked somewhat like that Harbor Freight one, only beefier. I'm looking to replace the ones on my Kendon, as they are already tweaked.

RE: Wheel Chock
I bought one of these last fall for $ 59.99 from Harbor Freight. I returned it 3 days later.
I couldn't get a decent fit on my 2007 FLTR or 1995 Fatboy. I have storage/space issues in my garage. No matter how I adjusted it it was either (almost) scrapping on the rotors, or dinging the bottom edge of my painted fenders. If you buy one be very careful about loading your bike the first couple of times. It's a copy of more expensive ones I've seen; a cheap copy for my 2 cents. I think the Condor unit is about the best I've seen but I don't like the price ($ 140.00).

RE: Wheel Chock
I bought that chock from Harbor Freight and put it on my Harbor Freight Lift Table and it works fine. For those of you wondering whether it will hit your rear fender the answer is no !! It has three adjustment holes and if you adjust it to the lower hole it doesn't touch your rear fender and works fine for what I am using it for.
