I have the HF Condor like chock. The only issue was getting the spacing for the front tire correct. Once you've done that, it'll hold the bike just fine. Wouldn't leave it all day but for getting on and off, it does the job. The two strap hooks are all I need to keep the bike clean.

Just made a 700 mile trip using the HF chock, no problem.

We have two of the HF chocks in our toy hauler, they work fine, just strap the bike down and let her ride. You will find you have to work at it to get the tire out when you are ready to unload.

I have the H.F.units on both of my Handy Lifts. They work great! And with the magazine coupon they were 39.99 each. I can not see spending what they are asking for the Condor. These have worked without fail. Please note I am sure the Condor works great as well.

Same here, have hauled 2 baggers more than 4K miles in the back of the toy hauler with no problems using the HF chocks.

I have both types of Harbor Freight wheel chocks both work fine on a bagger regardless of the wheel sizes I've tried (inc. 16, 17, 18 & 21).

May someday step up to the Condor's but its not a high priority at this time.

Save the jack and you'll be fine with the HF options.

Yes and no. The bike was a Honda Rune which had a curb weight of 840 lbs. Had just under $500 in it. Sold it on this forum for $300 to a guy who made the same trip with it and his ride was an Ultra. I sold it because I only needed it for that one trip.

I hauled it on a HF 4X8 trailer, with a HF pivoting tongue jack, 10lb D rings, HF spare tire braces and a HF ramp carried under the bed.

Worked well for the 1,400 mile round trip to the Dragon.



You can see the HF chock in this pic.


I have a garage full of HF tools acquired over a 30 year period. None have broken. I do services on 7 motorcycles, five sports cars, SUV, trucks and cars.

Impact tools, air compressors, floor drills, power tools, torque wrenches, dial indicators, micrometers, wheel balancer, welder and many others. Again without any failures. I have less than 10% of the cost of "Name" brand tools cost. But I have the same performance.

So for the HF haters - too bad your loss not HF's.

Couldn't agree more. I have no use for anything in that store. Can not stand the thought of buying junk, and thats all that is in that store.
