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.

Ratchet it in place to what? What is tied down? Surely not a bike.

Surely.

+1 Mine has never moved an inch unbolted.

I like the idea of the aluminum plates, but my Fuzion doesn't have traditional d rings. It has a recessed cup with a fixed bar inside the top edge.
Regarding thru bolting, did anyone remove the panel and insulation under their camper to access the bottom floor surface? I hate to disturb the factory seal there but agree that bolts beat screws hands down.

I didn't bolt mine down at all. I used an aluminum plate that fits over the D-ring in the floor and have bolts protruding through the plate. The chock fits down over the bolts and then tie downs go from the bike to the D-rings. Clean, simple, and easy to remove. Like so:

Maybe a little off topic, but how is everyone bolting their chock to the TH floor? Thru-bolting or just screwing? Any concerns with accessing underneath the floor if bolting?

It is best to thru-bolt with a backing plate, if something was to go wrong the screw in method would just rip the screws right out of the plywood, no you can't ask me how I know lol

I had been using an old fashion wheel chock, but bought a Condor at Daytona Bike Week. What a difference. I don't need anyone to hold the bike upright to strap it down. BTW, now only has to be done on the rear of the bike!

issue with the c14 is are the bars being on a rise, which makes them a weak point for anchor. SO I continue with my cheap harbor freight chock and finding little kids to get their hands up under the plastic to loop the triple tree lower.

Not much will work on sportbikes with full bodywork. I use the Canyon Dancers, which is why I like the Condor chock. No need to tighten down the front straps very much.

not sure they would work on a sport or sport touring bike that has full body Tupperware

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

Check out the Canyon Dancer stainless rings. I used them on two of my dual sports in the past.
