Default ride-on wheel chock

Anyone using a ride-on style wheel chock to park their Harley upright in their garage? I'm looking to remove the lean in the bike to make a bit more room in my garage. A vertical bike also makes cleaning and servicing easier.
Condor makes a nice chock but the Harbor Freight price is enticing.

Have not tried the HF, but I have a condor and do love it. Servicing is a lot easier. Bought from a local guy on Facebook Marketplace for $90

This is what I have, easy to use. You ride on flat level platform and step on peddle. https://wheeldock.com/wheel-chock/

HF is very tough to back out of in my experience, the wedge of the front plate squeeze's the front tire holding it in.

I've owned one of the rock a dock, "what I refer them to". A heavy bike can be a pain to get out of one. That's why I purchased the Wheeldock. They aren't cheap but they are easy to use.

I had the harbor freight wheel chock when I had my Sportster. It worked well for that. Was a bit tough to rock out, but do able. When I got the Street Glide, I tried the chock couple times. Last time I was backed out of the garage trying to get the heavy bitch up and over the rocking action! I bought the Wheel Dock and have no issues. Been in use ever since. Seven years no and still no issues. Yes, expensive, but well worth the price. A quality tool.

I have the earlier version of the LA chock and it is worth every penny. However I use it for my Dyna not the RKS

I've got the LA Chock from Baxley for my Dynas, They are easier to roll backwards out of the chock and for the Road Glide Ultra I ponied up and got the Wheel Dock, so much easier to roll backwards out of the chock. Rolling out of the Wheel Dock, the bike rolls over an 1/8" piece of frame. If you watched the video from Wheel Dock you'll see how easy it is.
