Default Wheel Chock

I'm looking to get a wheel chock for my ultra to hold in the garage. Any pros and cons as to what you use.
Pics would be a plus.
Thanks

The condor is one of the best in my opinion. We have been getting a lot of rain here and I got bored so I did this.

I bought the Bike-Grab chock...and haven't been able to get it to work with either a BMW touring bike, a Honda sport-bike, or the 'King. Once you get the bike into the cradle and let go, it'll slowly start to list and would eventually fall over if left alone.

I would not recommend this one...

I have 2 BikePros (1 in shop & 1 in trailer.) They worked great for me when I had a Heritage Classic.

I traded the Heritage for an Ultra Limited, and after parking the Limited in the BikePro I could not get the Limited out of the Chock due to my short inseam.

I ordered a WheelDock Chock and it works great. The WheelDock does not use the bikes weight via teeter - totter to hold the bike in. It uses small hydraulic pistons -- very ingenious.

I highly recommend the WheelDock Chock.

I use the Wheeldock for both my bikes. Very well built and holds the bike very solidly. They used to give a discount if you mention you are a HDForum member. Jerry

I have two Harbor Freight ones, love them work great and on sale for 59.00 and if you have a 20% off coupon they're around 48.00...
can't beat it.
Condor is nice but for the money the Harbor Freight ones and heard to beat.

Condor. Tip: If you going to be using it to transport bike in the back of your pickup, drill two 3/8" holes (aligned with the holes at the end of the arms of the Condor). To unload bike, just drop two 3/8" bolts (2" long) into the holes through the truck bed.

*this will keep the Condor in place for you to rock the bike out of the cradle.
