I am looking into a Harbor freight motor cycle stand/wheel chock that they sell for about $50.

Does anyone have any comments they would like to share, such as function, usefulness, ease of use etc. Considering a purchase this weekend. thanks...Jerry

 

Same one I use and it works great. Good price too.

 

Look for a coupon...they're in Cycle World mag all of the time. I bought 4 of those same wheel chocks for around 30 bucks each using the coupons.

I cut one up & mounted it to my lift instead of the ridiculous crank vise it came with, mounted 2 in my enclosed trailer and I leave one laying around for ppl to use in the bed of a truck or whatever. I've never used it for any other purpose as I don't see what help it would be unless you're working on your kick stand or need to take the derby cover off.

 

I use one for both on my trailer or in the garage.

 

I have it in the garage, nice to have something for maintenance use. However, the sportster front wheel is too small and it doesn't hold it too solidly. It will hold tires that are 110 or 120 though.

 

Thanks everyone for your input. I drove 1.5 hr today to Harbor freight and purchased the stand. It list for $79.95, but I took a page out of AIM and got it for $39.95, but couldn't use their 20% coupon, so it was a great price. I'll try it out on my 08 Nightster and see. I will usually be working on this bike alone, and I am a newbie, never jack up a bike before, hopefully this will keep bike in upright position, while I jack up the bike. thx again...Jerry
