Default wheel chock
Hello everyone I'm a newbie. My name is shott and I own a Road King Custom (2007). I reside in Illinois and I have a quick question. I have a 6 1/2 by 12 open trailer.I Recently purchashed two wheel chocks from Harbor Freight. Wanted to haul two bikes,my Road King and a full dresser. Wanted to now what would be the best method or way to install these two wheel chocks in a trailer that was 6 1/2 by 12. The model number of the wheel chocks from Harbor Freight is #97841. If some one could help me out with some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated, would not want to install wrong and damage my investment. Also is this trailer big enough.

They'll fit. Each bike is about three feet wide, so you have some room to spare. Offset one chock to the front a little more than the other, so if you get some side to side movement you don't have the RK handlebars whacking into the fairing of the dresser.

welcome from north carolina, i have 2 HF chocks on my 6 x 12 and I have hauled a road king and electra glide without any problems. Per the reply above do not line up you chocks even. put 1 about a foot behind the other and they will ride fine.

Welcome aboard from New York. They should work. Just make sure you tie the bikes down real well. There were some threads about how to tie down in the touring section awhile ago.
