I saw this yesterday at Harbor Freight ( no I dont work there but I love that store) a wheel chock and almost bought it but wanted to make sure it would work , said it would work with most motorcycles also seen in there flier they have a new one that is free standing (like a Condor) but did not have it on hand the one they did have on hand was 59.99 but I found it on thier web page for 39.99 so you have to print that page off and then they will sell it to you for that also you can print off 20 percent coupons off to so you could buy this for like 33 bucks, anyway here is the link to the chock.

Chuck yes it made good sense , what I was looking at when it roll's in the back part look's kinda high & looks like it ust might grad the lower rear part of the big Glide fender , it might go under it

i loveit. there was one issue with it...it is all hydraluic... and the foot pedal that you lift it with broke at the weld the first time i used it. piss poor weld. i cleaned the weld, put a stud in the hole and welded them back together...no problems since. i have left both bikes....seperatley...in the full up position overnice and there were no leak downs. it is very stable, even with me on the bike while on the lift. i would recomend it to anyone wanting to get off the floor while working on your bike. it also has casters on it, i made two small wheel chocks to aid in loading the bike. even with the locks down it wanted to scoot a bit on my smooth concrete floor. with the bike on the lift in the down position, and the locks in the up position, you can move it around, i like that. if you lack room for one, park the bike on the lift....it takes just a bit more room than the bike does. it comes with one set of u/bolts for straping the bike down.....straps not included....i got some 3/8 eye bolts and installed them down the table to be able to strap in other places, depending on which end i want to lift. i also went to the junk yard and got a couple of sissor jacks out of junk cars and modified the top of them so i can lift the bike while on the table....5 bucks apiece i believe. i also removed the crank handle and welded a 9/16x3/8 drive socket in place of it so i can tighten the front wheel with an air ratchet while holding the bike in place. i plan on adding side plates to facilitate the lifting of my riding mower,,,,change oil, belts, blades, ect. hope this helps.....
