My RG fender clears with ample space. I'm talking about the black stand with the separate mounting frame that you can remove to bolt it to the floor.

I too set mine on the lowest setting of the chock and it cleared my fender on my 05 RK.

can I buy a free standing wheel chock? I really hate to drill a hole in my new carport floor.
Thanks

If it's not anchored down somehow you'll just push it across the floor when you try to dock the bike.

Default Wheel Chock

Thanks Guys,
I felt it must work ok, since so many on the forum have them.

Yep, I have three now on two trailers. I still make sure the bikes are strapped really well. I just put two on my new trailer yesterday. For RK's you have to use the lowest setting (same on the WG BTW)..

You could bolt it to a sheet of plywood.

I too like mine. It makes cleaning and maintaining alot easier, BUT, one morning I walked into the garage and my Ultra AND the Chock were laying on it's side. Talking about a sick feeling. Luckily only a scratch on the windshield is all that happened. I have no idea how this happened. I can understand just the bike falling over if not seated in properly but both the bike and the chock... So BEWARE, I now have the chock lag bolted down to the floor. This is the way it was designed to be used. When I first bought the chock and ran the bike up on it I thought " hmmmm how about that, it seems stable enough without bolting it down ". WRONG THINKING.
