I looking to buy a trailer to haul my bikes and I'm looking for a quality wheel chock to use. Who makes a good reliable chock that I'm not gonna have to worry about my bike tipping over?

I am kinda looking for something similar to what Condor makes. Is there another brand that makes a similar type of chock that is good but cheaper than a Condor?

Thanks Hub. That's an interesting way to tie down the bike to the trailer. I kinda like it. Just might have to look into taking that route.

I have done exhaustive research on the best products money can buy, as I am also looking for an aluminum trailer and hauling equipment to bring a couple bikes with me.

For a bike hauler such as a dedicated motorcycle trailer, the Pit-Bull Trailer Restraint is the only way to go. It's pricy but as I have found "Buy once, cry once" and it's gravy from then on out. The plate is very low profile but it's not invisible, and it will be secured to the floor of the trailer/pickup bed of your choosing. If you don't feel comfortable bolting this part to any of your vehicles your looking for the next best thing...a front wheel chock.

For all other uses, including trailers or pickup beds, garage, driveway, race day at the tent or in the pits, and anywhere you need your bike held up straight and solid.....the Baxley Sport Chock. Geometry of the device is optimized for a 17" front wheel such as ours and nearly every other standard sport bike ever built. It also has adjustments and will actually hold a 16=18" wheel no problem also. Lever lock on the side allows you to secure the bikes wheel into the chock. Different versions available, you want the kind that can be pushed all the way up to a vertical wall for a compact footprint designed for enclosed trailers or traveling. They also have a version thats larger and wider for stability thats really only a luxury if you leave it in the garage 100% of the time. Not really needed. Either version you can ride that ZX14R up into there and the front wheel will lock in, hop off the bike and walk away. It's not going anywhere. Allows one person to perform tie-downs for trailers or racing at the track with no kickstand. Somewhat pricy but worth its weight in gold, can be had for roughly $200.

P.S. Where you hauling the bikes to Corn?

Cheers

That pitbull trailer one is NICE ! If I had to trailer a bike, that would be my choice ..

For the garage, I like the Baxley, it doesn't need to be bolted down, it has never slipped
On me ....

I am definitly down with the pitbull trailer lock, but that will have to be a purchase I'll make later down the road. I set my budget around $100 or so at the most for a chock to use for now. There is no doubt that I will own a set of the pitbulls in the future!

Bradley- My plan is to use the trailer primarily as a way to transport my bike to the dragstrip when it's slammed. Hwy 9 is a bit rough and the last thing I want to do is bust my oil pan on the way. And the only dragstrips around here are in Humblot, ia and Marion, sd. Both are over 100 miles away. There is a nice aluminum utility trailer in Estherville I'm looking at. Big enough to have many other uses besides just hauling motorcycles. Plus I can write off the trailer as a business expense come tax time ;)

Tyre Down for the rear looks like a cool design.

+1 on the Pit Bull trailer restraint. Goes right through the axle and no way is any Pit Bull stand going to bend. You might still want an inexpensive bolt down chock to help hold the front from bouncing around but i doubt it is a must. Or just put a tie down through the front wheel to hold it steady.

I'm sure there will be people who will scoff as it is too cheap to be good, but this HF chock is absolutely rock solid.

Your text to link here...

I got mine on sale for 39.95. I've hauled a couple bikes 300 miles plus with this and it just takes one strap around the wheel and the vertical section. I use a strap on the bike rear, but it really isn't necessary. Only downside is it's heavy, but mine stays put in one spot in the shop or moved to a trailer once in a blue moon.

I also used the Harbor Freight when we went to Bike Week Daytona Florida on two bikes. Zero problems there or back. Check Craig's list they pop up on there every once in awhile.

Just picked up a brand new trailer this week. Minor hail damage from from all the storms we've been having here in Minnesota, but I got it for a damn good price. 6x12 enclosed. The bike sure fills it up a lot more than I had expected, but it should work perfect for what I need. I also have a Pit Bull trailer restraint system on its way. Hopefully it works as good as they claim.

very nice. I'm sure you'll be thrilled with the PB trailer restraint too. Heard nothing but good stuff on that. Wish I had a trailer just so I had a reason to own have that hot little item.

ROCK SOLID!!! The pit bull trailer restraint system is exactly as they advertise!

Now for the cons. First, the pin for the brake side I had to take it to the grinder a shave a small layer off all the way around the circumference to get it to slide into the axle. Second I had to pull my cotter pin to so it would go in. Wft whatever. So now I am using a key off a hitch pin so I can easily remove and reinstall it. Other than that fucking awesome! Took some dicking around to get in square but still tons more simple to do by yourself.

Bad ass setup corn! Looks legit. Empty tho! Get some lights and tools in there, maybe a cooler....and a fuel caddy full of race gas....OH I'm getting carried away

Way ahead of ya. I've got a small cabinet, hanger for leathers and helmet, chair and basic set of tools. Still need some more. This winter I'll build a bench and some storage up in the V nose front, paint or do some linoleum of some sort on the floor, paint the walls, rewire the trailer and add a battery for a radio and lights and a 12 power source or two, maybe throw in an inverter. That's on my short list for now, I don't really need anything too fancy.

Thing is bad ass! A rolling speed headquarters for Delilah! Gotta get to the track with you sometime to try my hand at drag racing too
