Find a place like this in your area. It will be a lot cheaper also.
Thanks, surprisingly, the Home Depot web site lists them, but only 2' sections. I'll check a truck/trailer place.

Don't go cheap on your trailering stuff when you are going to haul an expensive 800 pound plus motorcycle around. I bought e-track from Catco, two Condor wheel chocks and e-track adapters from their booth at the international motorcycle show and the biggest ratcheting tie downs with locking clips from powertye.

Baxley is lowering the prices of all of our chocks and trailers for 2012. We will honor the new prices now. Based in Dothan, AL.

All chocks have a LIFETIME WARRANTY!

LA chock is now $259 WAS 290
Sport Chock $189 WAS 240
Single Bike Trailer SB001 -$2890 WAS 3650
GT2000 double or trike - $4300 WAS 6300

These products are the top of the line. American Iron and Rider has ranked us the best for 12 years. We are also the original mfg of the self locking wheel chock. We are still 100% American made and are not changing anything except the price. Simply taking a big cut in margin to add many more dealers and expand to a more volume based mfg.

i looked for a while and went with the wheeldock. i drive in and it locks up the front wheel real nice and i can do it by myself. fairing on my flhtk is close to the sides so i wanted something easy that would hold it in place pretty good. i put 2x6's under the frame, pull it down in four places to etrack with the big wide straps and it doesnt move. its made in usa too. good luck.

What he said...I had a Condor on my open trailer and sold it with the trailer. When I bought my enclosed trailer, I bought Harbor Freight chocks and they worked just as good as the Condor at a fraction of the Condor price. Get some e-track, some good tie downs and soft ties and your be fine.

With the larger wheel/tire widths on our bikes, the extra washers are not needed.

I have the Harbor Freight wheel Chock, as you can see in the pic I have it set up for single or double. For a single setup the other two are removed leaving only a base plate. E-trac is from Etrailer.com, good site, no issues with many orders.

If you like the Condor, you will LOVE the Baxley. Not only can you adjust the diameter, you can also adjust the width. This way it knows how tight to clamp onto the tire walls.

plus with the Baxley, you only need to tie down the rear of the bike (pulling it forward). the chock takes care of the rest. i've towed a bike 42k miles this year using our LA chock.

never compress your forks.... trust me, it will pay for itself.
