Are they worth it? I kind of like the idea of just riding up and docking my my bike in a wheel chock for changing oil and other minor maintenance. I've seen prices from $50 to $250. I know you get what you pay for, but all it does is lock your front wheel in a chock.

I'm not a fan of Harbor Freight, but I saw theirs on a search and it looks pretty nice with tie downs downs.

I've never used one before, are they worth it?

Thanks for any information and advice.

I have the Condor Wheel Chock. I really like it and use it alot, it's useful in lots of situations and I also mount it onto the floor of my Toy Hauler when hauling the bike.

I wouldn't be without one now.

I have two condors now. I had a Bike Pro a couple of years ago. I think I like the BIKE Pro better. But the Condor is nice. The Condor is free standing. The Bike Pro needs a plate. I have my Condors now mounted in my trailer because I store my Bikes in the trailer in winter. But this spring I may take them out again an mount them on a 4X8 sheet of Plywood and lay that on my Garage floor. The Condor scoots sometime when I am trying to pull the Ultra out of it. If it was on a sheet of plywood or bolted to the garage floor there would be no problem. Save a lot room in the garage. I can put both a Heritage and an Ultra in the same garage stall.

 

Agree with you about not being a fan of Harbor Freight but if you need a wheel chock for trailering you would be hard pressed to find a better one for the money.

It's EXACTLY the same as the Biker Pro that costs well over $100 but Harbor Freight has it for less that $50. I have had some good luck with HF, you just have to be picky about what you buy to sort out the junk. The wheel chock is worth every dime. It's heavy duty, welded and a heck of a lot better than the cheap Pingle type. I was worried about it working with a Street Glide because it looks like it will hit the fender but it doesn't.

 

I think only the color is different on the Harbor Freight unit.

 

I use the same in the trailer.

 

Hey thanks guys, I'm going to pick up one this week. Harbor Freight has two styles now. One like txgeezer's that has to be bolted on the floor, the other is free standing for about $20 more.

Just make sure you put it in lowest hole position to ensure you clear the fender first.

 

I use the Bike pros in the trailer. They are very easy to remove from the permantly mounted plate. Plan on adding the free-standing plate for the garage that the bike pro also slips onto. Also very easy to add separate staggard plates only in the trailer for alternate Bike pro mounting positions as may be needed, without having to buy additional chock assemblies.

 

Anyone use the self standing Harbor Freight chock in the garage for cleaning maintenance? Do you have to bolt it to the floor? Stable? Easy to use?
