Removable wheel chock?

[notanlines]

Has anyone found a wheel chock to be used in the garage that can be removed without leaving bolts sticking up through the floor? We always travel with the Road King, but usually take it out as soon as we arrive and would have to have the chick removed. Naturally we have fuel tanks under the area where the chock would mount.....

I have a Condor that removes from a mounting plate, leaving the floor unobstructed. You could mount it with flat stock extending beyond the fuel tank or use an e-track arrangement.

Hi Jim,

When we had the toy hauler, we used a condor with no bolt down. We placed it against the forward bulkhead and drove the Goldwing right into it. We then tied in with two ratchet straps, down and forward from the rear, and used the Velcro strap around the wheel and condor mast.

We never had a problem, plus the Condor folds flat for storage. Another advantage, especially with H-D, is no need to use the side stand. The front wheel roll into the rocker cam, and is trapped by the upright mast. Useful at home too. No more "Harley lean" when trying to wash/wax both sides of the bike. Never dropped a bike using this chock, and fully adjustable.

For a little extra, I'd upgrade to the Condor "Pit Stop". Lot's of versatility there! (see thumbnail) Highly recommended! When we sold the bike, I had no trouble selling the Condor for what I payed for it.

Condor not bolted down and it works great. Two straps in the front and two in the back. Never moved. I bought the PS14500.

I also have a condor removable wheel chalk in a 12 ' garage the only thing that stays in the floor two pieces of 2" X 12" X 1/4" thick flat stock. A little bit of a hump when you roll the carpet out . Not that bad, not really a trip point.

A number of ideas on this string. I previously used a cross bar ( 1 x 1) that clamped to the tie downs. But now with the high strength tie downs in these units I will be considering a free standing wheel chock.

Many thanks for the various replies. I have discovered that I do have a little access above the front fuel tank, therefore I ordered two of the Pingel removable mentioned by Road glide. This way I can drive straight into the one for the front wheel and the sidecar can slide into the one on the right. The chock on the sidecar keeps the unit from dancing left to right and two tie-downs will keep it tight forward. $75 each with free shipping from Amazon.

I installed the hardware wile in yuma territorial harley winter birding . I ask the dealer what they used . I was lucky they had them on the shelf . Pull the bike in and put the chock where you want measure and drill . 10805 the chock will need to be set back from the tie rings to pull the bike forward locking it into the floor jigs. The one shown is setting on top of a floor tie down . I have 2 sets of hardware seen to the left is for the harley on the side and Quad on the other side.

Looks good little more work with removable condor chalk. I had to removed the corplast under the garage . Then decided to add 13 more tie downs and insulate the bottom

[roadglide]

10806 Yup you have to remove the under belly and drill through the floor using the Hex bolts with the kit . I also did some insulating and sealing off the open area they call heated under belly.

I use Harbor Freight chocks on a rubber mat. Very secure.

The only reason I could see any reason to have to bolt any brand or floor type system down would be if you were not using 4 straps and just 2 in the front of the bike. 2 front straps pulling forward and out on an angle and 2 straps pulling back on an angle and the bike will not go anywhere even without any unit on the floor. If you are having a bad day and a strap breaks then that would be about it. Seeing how my Ultra Classic came in from the factory shows and proves that is all you need. We are all protective of our stuff like myself but I think we tend to overkill fastening a bike down. My only best advice is to stay away from the weekend yard sale places that sell 20 tie downs for $10 and invest in high quality straps (the Harley dealer actually gave me mine that came with my bike) and I have never had an issue.

I though the same way till the dealer showed me what they use. I can say for sure its sweet having a target and eliminating 2 back straps opens the garage up .

[roadglide]

I just remember I jacked up and the one strap jumped and let my bike lean over in the garage but the chock saved me from catastrophe.10858

Well sir I must say you are mistaken or misinformed regarding how your Harley came from the Factory. Having worked at Harley and assisting with deliveries I must clarify. All bikes come to the dealer on Pallets. Metal now days with wheel chock in place. bikes are strapped to the Pallet in several locations.
As for this subject I am also looking for a wheel chock system that does not require bolting thru the floor

http://condor-lift.com/trailer-only-chock I seen a guy use one of those things on a 10 ft garage burning into the ramp you have to almost stop to get on over to the pivit poing.

10806 Yup you have to remove the under belly and drill through the floor using the Hex bolts with the kit . I also did some insulating and sealing off the open area they call heated under belly. The mounting brackets are almost flush and you wont have to slow down to hit your target. I have seen guys carry there chuck on a piece of ply wood and that was a big mess because it would kick out from the bike.

Not sure why folks would not use the Condor. Properly adjusted for the tire they are easy to use. When my Daughter started riding, at age 15 when she got her permit, she had no issues going in or coming out of the Condor with my V Rod or my Wife's Dyna. Granted Dressers are a bit heavier but if my Daughter and Wife can roll in and out they should be no issue to most guys regardless of the bike we ride. My Wife prefers to park in the Condor. She will set hers up where we camp and at home she puts it in the shop.

I use the Condor. No floor mounting, but I do run 4 straps because of road conditions and idiots. Long trips I run with an extra set of straps on the front to the Condor itself. The ALCAN just has to many variables in road conditions to not take the extra precautions.

I use the Baxley LA Wheel chock. I tie the bike down at 4 points and it does not move. Be sure the rear ties are secure because even the LA Chock won't keep the bike from wanting to go forward if it is not bolted down.
