I didn't know that about the wheel docks. Thank you. I know the trackside is made of cheap thin steel and someone definitely has to stand on it to release the bike or mount it to my garage slab. I don't think I want to do that in this garage as I am planning on moving sometime better now and 2 years.
Yeah it took 3 men and a little baby to break the bikes loose of these Condors. I gave up and drilled them into the concrete. If I ever move maybe the new buyers will have bikes and I can leave them in place. If not I'll remove them and fill the holes. The Wheel Docks brand is nice but not worth the cost to me. I'll make do with what I have.

@Cornpipe did you just drill and use a concrete anchor for the bolt? I've been contemplating mounting my chocks to the garage floor. Seems both standing straight up would free up a decent amount of space
If your garage floor has the expansion seems in them try adding a piece of angle iron to the front of the wheel chock. I did this on mine, bolted on, and drop the one leg of the angle into the floor groove. This keeps it from sliding when mounting the bike or removing it from the chock. I can post a pic if this isn't clear enough. Going on 4yrs with this setup.

I used the blue Tapcon concrete anchor screws. Just drill the holes than run these screws in til tight. Home Depot sells them and they come with the masonry bit. No anchor sleeves required and believe me they hold up no problem.

Sounds like you had some good duty. Thanks for your service to a fellow airman.

Got the Road King all buttoned up and took her for a quick 20 mile ride to check my work after changing cam tensioner shoes, breathers, installed Rockouts. . No bad noises and no leaks. Running like a sewing machine. (knock on wood) Turned 29999 miles as I rolled into the garage. Maybe later today I'll get a pic for the Odometer Milestone thread when she turns 30000.
I got my wheels back from powder coat. Still have bars and the gauge pod relocation from Kraus being finished. I dropped the wheels off at the dealer for the Metzler Cruisetech tires. All part of the deal when I bought the bike.
