Motorcycle Wheel Chock

Thanks everyone, great feedback, allot of votes for the condor, I will have to also check out the $60 Harbor Freight one.

Thanks for the replies so far, three for Condor, that's great, do you guys tie the wheel down to the Condor or do you strap from elsewhere and compress the suspension?

I have the chrome brackets on my Ultra that bolt to the bolts where your spotlamp bracket bolts and tie it down there. Heritage, I use the soft straps looped around the handlebars. Yes I still compress the suspension some and strap to tie downs in the floor, 2 toward the front and 2 toward the rear around crash bars on each bike so they can't move in either direction. I prefer to tie them that way in order to prevent bikes possibly rocking side to side and hitting each other. Just my preference.

Different bike, but I do the same.

I use the #97841

Exactly what I use. In fact, I don't have to even bolt it down... With the bike tied down front and rear, it's going nowhere.

Ditto.

My trailer has D rings so I strap to them. I don't really compress the suspension much, only about 1/4" or so to keep tension on the strap. The condor is so strong the bike doesn't move much side to side after you adjust it for your wheel size.

Maybe we should go on sharktank?

May work with E Track.
Check out boltiton.com. Pretty slick setup using your floor tie downs.
Made in Paso Robles.

Not much of a wheel chock there. Too much $$$ for what you get. My 2 HF chocks work great and I can use them anywhere: Toy hauler, back of truck, garage...

Thanks for the alternate idea though!
