The Harbor Freight wheel chocks are on sale again for $29, just thought I'd pass it on. Actually, I have two, one for the wife's sportster and one for my Nomad. It's amazing how much room they save because you don't have to use the kick stand. Just drive in, put the wheel in and get off the bike. When your ready to go, just give it a pull out of the chock and your off. Makes it easier for oil changes, cleaning, checking oil. It works great. ;)

I have one in my trailer just in case I need to trailer my Nomad some day.

I;ll have to pick up a couple for my trailer as well, The ones Ive seen here at the bike shows are about $180.00 ea.

that is about as cheap as making one

If you get the mailers or email coupons, you can get another 10-15% off. I'll be getting one today!

I'll have to come up with a coupon, it will help offset the low value of our Canadian Dollar.

I just bought a harbor freight lift.. the tire vise blows, especially for one man operation.. I assume i can just bolt this in place of the vise correct. the lift is nice though, leave her parked right on it. nice having it upright.. ready for polishin! can anyone input how tight this is on the wheel? I assume it's pretty amidextrious for the bigger bikes.

I bought two last year, mounted them on my trailer for the Mesquite Rally. The tie down strap on my wife's Honda broke. The chock stopped her bike from falling over & off the trailer at freeway speed. These are cheap insurance when towing any bike on a trailer. A word of caution, do not use the el'cheepo 1" ratchet straps from Harbor Freight, as they will break very easy when under tension.......Go with the more expensive 2" straps...

Just a note.. i just picked up the last one at the store here and they had the price at 39.99.. said I had to bring in the interned add but they would do it "this time".

Always a good idea to check prices online. I was told as well to bring in a copy of the online price when I bought something a few months back. They did the right thing to give you the online price.

Been thinking about getting one of these. When you trailer your Nomad, what do you attach the tie down straps to on the front?

Thanks,
John

I loop the straps thru the risers in the center of the handlebars, then the hook both hooks to the tie down mounted in the floor of the trailer...................................

If you have the Chuckster risers, the front straps might not work there. Jim
