I find my $29 Harbor Freight chock to be quite satisfactory.
Cost aside ...
... knowing how much the garage of a toy hauler jumps around, I don't believe that device clamped to the frame tubes at the very bottom of the bike is strong enough to hold the bike on a really rough road. Even if it IS strong enough, the frame on the average Harley ISN'T. It will flex and twist and bend until that clamp lets go. In my opinion, of course. I have no proof.
So if the $350 includes insurance that covers damage to your bike when the clamp lets go, maybe that's a good deal.
I don't disagree, the $29 Harbor freight chock works well, and if you step up, the $49 one works as well and my $300 Condor. I happen to have all three on my 2 utility trailers with many thousands of miles towing. I now have a little under 2000 miles with these bars in the TH and I am satisfied, they work as advertised.
Had you actually read my original post, you would have read the reason I bought them is because it is easier than attaching 6 straps per bike a couple times a week for two months...
As for your opinion on how well they hold the bikes, and the comment on Harley frames; Well, it's worth what I paid for it, absolutely nothing, you don't know what you're talking about. Before I dropped $700 on these, I checked them out, talked to people that have them in person. Looked at where and how they mount on the bike.
