Another wheel chock thread...

[Coolbreezin]

Been thinking about using 2 Harbor Freight Wheel Vises, front and back wheel. Found this Condor chopper chock. Straps will still be used. The vises make me feel a little more comfortable.
What are your thoughts?

CONDOR Motorcycle Chopper Chock

Our Chopper Chock is the first wheel chock specifically designed for the unique requirements of choppers. Now any chopper can be held securely in an upright position in your garage or on any flat surface, or be transported in a trailer safely and securely with only two tie-down straps, and...

I have 2 of the Condors, they are great.

The condor works great. I bought a cheaper one and it sucks. Trust me it’s worth the few dollars more for the condor.

Bought a set of ramps from harbor freight and first time I load my bike it looked like a banana. Took em right back. Things are not made that well anymore. Spending a few extra bucks for something that is will be worth it

if for a trailer, look into Biker Bars, love them.

I checked out the biker bars and it looks great I just don’t think I could run it without straps.

If you gonna transport it, dont trust straps. With the BikerBar, the trailer could flip and land upside down. Bike will stay secure. Best add on Ive bought.

Yep trailing with straps is so sketchy in comparison. the biker bar is SOILD I mean its zero worries once locked in. ditch the straps is for real. never look back.... 350 bucks and loading or unloading in 2-3 min, and once loaded its PART of the trailer.

I use a biker bar on my roadglide, I ordered the clamp piece for my K9. Those of you using the biker bar on your BDM, are you using a front wheel chock as well to keep it from turning?

I do not. I have mine set to compress the forks slightly. Its usually enough to stop any flop.

So, stealing on the post a little, I too purchased. A Condor. Chock And it catches my fender. In the back I thought I found a solution, but to be honest I just stopped using it. Wonder if anyone can tell me exactly what they're doing so this doesn't tear up the bottom of the back of the fender.

I would assume grinding/cutting it down....that was my plan until I found out the biker bar also worked on these bikes

I don't know if this will help anyone. But in the garage I put my bike on 5x5" wood blocks and a few mudflaps from a semi. It gets my rear tire off the ground almost 1/2".
I also use the blocks to support my bike while I strap it down in the trailer. I don't use a chock, I strap the front tire directly to the horizontal bar of the trailer.
