Default HF Lift/Chock Help

Would someone do me a favor and take a measurement if you have the HF chock shown below on the HF 1000lb. lift?

I'm looking for the distance from the front of the chock frame to the front of the table (the overhang). It would save me some time screwing around.

Are you happy with where it's positioned in relationship to the rear wheel opening?

Thanks,
Rick

I have the same set up and have the upright of the chock completely hanging over the front of the lift. I removed the bar with the eyebolts on the front of the chock and attached them to the lift. I am guessing that the chock is 4-5" over the front edge of the lift. Haven't removed the rear tire yet but it looks like there will be room to drop it through the lift. I have an Ultra Classic by the way and I can post a photo if you need to see it on the lift.

I have my wheel chock almost flush with the edge, I used the two mounting holes that were for the chock originally shipped with the table lift. Then I drilled two holes in the chock at the other end to give it 4 bolt locations. very secure and sturdy. This set up put my front wheel in the same location as the original chock would have put it.

Thanks for the reply. I did some measuring and if I mount it that far back I won't be able to drop the wheel through the opening. I tend to go through rear tires a little more than I should.
