Nice Chock...
Only problem I had was getting the bike out of it.... I had to put a short piece of 6X6 where my feet hit the floor to be able to pull it out.... Legs too short I guess... Love the plywood idea though... I will be doing that... I just drilled the trailer floor yesterday to drop some bolts through when I need to.... Thanks for the great ideas....

I wanted a quick way to move it out of the way so I used clevis pins with washers from underneath the trailer floor and put a washer & pin on to hold them in place and another pin to hold the chock on. When the chock is off I just move the holding pin to top postion and drop the pins to floor level so not tripping over them. We have a toy hauler so we use the garage space when the bike isn't in there.

I put a 3/4" thick piece of wood (2" W x 8" L) under where the wheel sits which helps me get it out when alone. It seems plenty sturdy and will hold it upright but I put tie downs on to be safe in the trailer.

Both are great ideas..... I will try them..... Thanks

what they all said...
A piece of plywood, or in my case a scrap of siding attached to the H.F. frame keeps the bike from sliding around on my epoxied garage floor. All my bikes fit in it. Here's a (poor quality) picture, but you get the idea.

I have the HF chock but I only use it for an extra. My main travel/garage chock is an LA Trailer Chock. it doesn't move when you put the bike in or take it out. It also doesn't need tiedowns to keep my RK upright. It is pricey compared to HF though.

H.F. sidewalk sale
This weekend my local (Mpls) Harbor Freight is having one of their 'sidewalk sales'. Whenever they do this they raise their prices and then mark the item down; the ol' bait & switch tactic. I'm predicting in a bit there will be one of their coupons avaiable and that chock will be on sale for either $ 49.00 or $ 59.00. I've bought two at different times for the NICE price of $49.00...
