A good wheel chock is as much expensive, plus I like the idea to do not put pressure on the shocks. Once the bar is secure in the right way with the trailer floor (trailer frame) this is the most secure system I believe.

I have one I installed in my Haulmark LowHauler. Works awesome. Then I wanted to setup for a different spot in trailer to get wifes trike in too , so I made up two extra bottom securing plates and installed in trailer. 3/4" plywood with those attaching plates is plenty secure. Also a breeze to load as you ride right in and it latches bike into position. Also you can quickly move the bar from bike to another bike so you can haul a diff one. I was half considering buying a second one to secure wifes trike into position as well. Well worth the money if you saw the construction. But that's me. Have your bike fall over once and see what the paint repairs cost? LOL

my brother has four of them mounted in a trailer. they work great and have coverd many miles with them. the above post is correct you have to put the kickstand up which makes putting it on the bike a two person job. he just went though this when he and just his girlfriend went on a trip. made it hard to use it. he's got a streeglide.

I had one in my toy hauler, loved it, I have have a EZ Dock center stand so bar install was easy for me, true on the dragging on a steep ramp, at first I used two straps for peace of mind but they were not needed.
I also built some flush mount bolts and sandwiched my frame with c channel so when I got where I was going I would remove it since it was in the garage / dining area, I wasn't too trustworthy on the underfloor mount they provided but I also had insulation between my floor and underbelly so they wouldn't have worked for me anyway

Installed them in my XLR, one for the Glide, the other for the wife's Sporty (bases are the same but the bars are different, so double check when you order them that you're getting the correct one for your bike.). They work awesomely. I strapped bikes down for the last 10 years, and after using this, it's so long straps for this guy. The two bolts that hold the base to your floor are HUGE, you'd pull your floor up/out before you break one of those.
Review: pricey but totally worth it.

Considering what a bike costs and all the other stuff we do to them $350 isn't to bad! It works just like they say it does. I haul mine on an open trailer. I do admit I put a couple straps on "just in case" but probably isn't really needed as others have said just a piece of mind thing. LOL

Well as an update. I did buy the second one for my wifes trike. We were going to haul them from Alberta Canada to Laughlin Nevada last Feb. The trike didn't really need it but worked awesome anyways. Did thousands of miles , bumps , twists, turns and they never moved an 1/8 of inch. I checked them at every gas stop. Always perfect. And the upside is I have a spare biker bar if I wanted to haul a friends bike on a winter holiday ride too. Well worth the money in my opinion. I have had straps break and /or come loose. Biker bar once it's locked down. It's not moving. They actually hung a bike from one sideways for 2 days during a bike show to prove the strength. Plywood is alot stronger then you are giving it credit for too. My 2 cents.
