Motorcycle Wheel Chock

[GottaRunGottaCa]

I’m looking for opinions on a good motorcycle chock for my full dresser Harley Davidson (CVO Road Glide) and my wife's Deluxe, I have e-track in my 7’ x 16’ enclosed trailer and toy hauler, I want one that is compatible with the e-track so I can have the flexibility to move the bikes around in the trailer and will not compress the suspension of the motorcycles. I’m trying a friend’s condor PS1500 and he also has the B&W biker bar he is willing to sell.
Thanks in advance and let me know what y’all are using.

Apprently they all do the same thing with mostly the same design...

I'm partial to the K&L dock kit. One in the toy hauler, one in the bike hauler.

I have a HF chock bolted to an aluminum frame I had made that is secured to the floor by cutting slots in the aluminum channel and cinch pins. I took a section of 6x6 lumber, cut it not so thick and put under the frame. I have fork tie downs on the HD Ultra Classic Limited and pull the bike down with ratchet straps so the frame of the bike is firmly on the wood block. Rear tie downs too. If the suspension is left loose, bumps could loosen or lose a tie down and the free standing bike go flailing around. I sometimes carry a second bike, Fatboy, and absolutely do not want any sideward movement. The second chock is bolted to a piece of plywood and slides under the aluminum frame. Tie downs prevent any movement.

Sorry I don't have pictures now but believe I did post some of the setup about 3 years ago.

Thank you. I got the idea from another poster on here several years ago. I love it because it's clean, secure, and easy to remove because nothing is bolted to the floor.

^^^^Neither, that's the beauty of the Condor chock. I tie mine to the floor D-rings using the Canyon Dancers and just get them tight enough to keep the bike from swaying from side to side too much. I snug the rear down tight enough to keep sway to a minimum. The front suspension might be compressed a half-inch maybe. Works a champ.

I have an aluminum 4" plate that has slots for the D-rings to fit through, and bolts that stick up for the chocks to sit down over. Everything is secure and takes only a minute or two to remove everything. Here's how it looks:

Great looking setup!

Go with the condor and you will never look back.

You will when you come across somone who bought a similar chock for a fraction of the price. The label isn't that impressive!

Another vote for the Condor. Have it sitting in the garage up against the sliding door to the garage. It is not tied to the floor so it can be moved out when the GL is unloaded. We tie the GL down with 2 straps from the triple clamp and 2 from the rear crash bars. I have a camera in the garage and one can watch the bike all day and it never moves. Go with the condor and you will never look back.

Check out boltiton.com. Pretty slick setup using your floor tie downs.

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!

Those are bitchen at my first glance I couldn't tell what there were? They should make those for dual sports too!

yeah I would love some for my Kawi, its a pain with all the Tupperware to get a loop up around the lower tree.

Maybe we should go on sharktank?

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?

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.

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.

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.
