Will that Wheel Chock hit the bottom of the front fender? I have the 2012 SG and the front fender goes pretty low. I'm worried about the locking mechanism will hit the fender when the wheel rolls in place. Anyone have this chock and similar bike?
Has anyone used their wheel chocks?
Good ? Bad?
Thanks
I have two HF wheel chocks in my Toyhauler. Got my RK in one and my Wife's Triglide in the other. They work great! I used the HF yellow Jack for two years before buying a PitBull. The yellow Jack worked great with all my bikes except my wife's Trike. I use it now working on my riding lawnmower. Never had a problem with anything I've bought at HF.

Not if you move it to the bottom holes. I have two in my Toyhauler. My wife's Triglide would work in the middle holes, but my Road King wouldn't.
I went out and measured the locking mechanism flliped up, It measures 9 inches at highest point from base of the chock. Measure your fender from the floor and see if it will clear.

Ditto on the wheel chocks. Bought one for my old shovel and it works just as well as the Condor chock that I paid over $200 for. The HF one was well under $100. The Condor looks nicer but they both do the same thing equally well.
well if you follow the instrucktions and ALLWAYS set the lock . you will never have a problem . if your leaving it up let the presure off the hydrolics after you set the lock .
the jack is safe just not STUPID Proof.
Matt i did the same thing with the kick stand , but caught it just in time DOH ! Da !
I've had the older version of the harbor freight jack red in color for over 12 years. Lifted goldwings and harleys without a problem. I can remember the rumers then soft bolts,metal bending ,bottles failing, leaking hydraulic fluid. Mine has worked flawlessly till this winter when bottle jack gave out.
At first I was going to replace it then thought about replacing unit with pitbull or J&s. Then saw deal on yellow jack and bought one. OF COURSE ITS NOT MADE AS WELL AS PITBULL OR J&S BUT AT $400 + LESS HOW COULD IT BE.
BOTTOM LINE UNLESS YOUR A PROFESSIONAL AND USING JACK EVERY DAY THIS JACK WILL SERVE YOU WELL OF COURSE LITTLE COMMON SENSE COMES IN HANDY TOO

I went down to the local HF with a screen shot of the ad, they just keyed in the numbers and I was good to go. $59.99
I moved the pads to the outside and drilled the holes out for 5/8"x5" bolts. Overkill maybe, but I wanna feel safe when I lift my hog:
Just kidding, but it works just as good with my Street Bob:

Delivered today, no problem lifting the bike, seems like it well made IMHO at least for it's purpose, time will tell. Took 10 minutes to put it together.
I can see lifting a 900lb motorcycle with a lift rated to 1500lbs. But using a lift (bottom right) rated to only 1,000 lbs. on a 900 lb. bike just doesn't float my boat. If I'm going to raise my Ultra 2-3 feet in the air I want a lift rated higher that just 11% above the motorcycle's weight.
