Default Steadymate wheel chock question

I've recently decided to trailer my bike (2016 Ultra Limited) on longer trips due to a medical condition. I bought an enclosed cargo trailer and a Steadymate wheel chock and while the bike rolls into the chock easily and is rock solid while tied down in transit, I had to get help from another rider my wife met in the parking lot to push the bike out of the chock (it was all both of us could do to get it out). Anyone eles use this chock with an Ultra and any tricks to getting it out without splitting a gut?

Same problem here. Don't know your model, mine has several cradle adjustment holes, Last 2 for 21in wheels. Moved forward in to 3rd hole, not as stable (locked in) but easier to remove alone. also have had to unlatch ball and raze the trailer tongue to back it off
Hope that helps. Take good care of your support team.

I was afraid I would have that problem with the titter-totter style wheel chocks,so I bought a wheel dock. It works great . The wheel rolls out on a flat surface. Try this link.

I would try laying a flat piece of wood or metal down so your front wheel dozen dip down in the cradle which is locking the front wheel in. There nice but now you now the problems getting out of the cradle its just going to take some fooling around with until you get the way you like it.
