Default Harborfreight wheel chock work on RK?

I am modifying a little boat trailer I have to do a 300 mile trip this weekend. I bought this wheel chock from Harbor Freight and my reservations are on the part that comes up behind the tire. It looks like it would hit my fender, anyone have one and know? Appreciate the help. Here's a pict of the rig I took trying to get the balance right, have about 50lbs on the tongue.

I moved the rotating part to the lowest hole and have not had a problem with my 08 street glide.

Thanks Sunn... But the RK has a different front fender than a SG... I am worried about the bracket hitting the trim on the trailing edge of the fender

Our07... Does your neighbor have the same front fender we have?

I have two of these that I use to haul a Deluxe and a Street Glide and they have worked fine. I used (2) 1/4" x 3" x 9" washer plates on the underside of the trailer to add stability due to the wood shrinking and swelling over time. It can be a little hard to get the bike back out and over the strap by yourself but a little push from the ol' lady will do it.

I have used it on a 2009 Road King Standard, and it works fine. Just be sure to use the LOWEST hole, like others have said.

Excellent, thanks guys... Yeah, I will use on the bottom hole. I appreciate all the replys and good to know it's a decent piece. My concern was that piece of trim on the bottom of RK's and Ultras fender, all the other models don't have'm.
