I have been looking at several different types of motorcycle chocks, baxley, la chock, and came across this one today and wondered if anyone has or knows someone who has one and if they are happy with it? I will be using it on a road glide. Thanks in advance for the info.

I have Bike Pro in my trailer and have been across the USA 4 times with an Electra Glide.My trips last approx 8 months and i use the bike every day.I only strap the bike down when im rolling, At night i use the trailer as a garage and merely drive it into the rack. It holds just fine.
My brother has the Condor in his trailer. Im sure they are all good. Just be sure and use the BIG rachet strap's. The dirt bike strap's wont pull down enough.
Also because you have a big touring bike,I wielded a plate under the trailer to the frame and bolted thru that. Then to be safe i took out the two bolts that came with the chocks,(Grade 8)and replaced them with grade 10's. Im not sure that's needed.
Good Luck

I bought the Baxley 4 years ago for my Softail Heritage, it's a little more but has never given me a problem and I've used it in the gargae everyday and in my TH when traveling. Good luck.

I just went to the Baxley web site and see they offer the bolt down kit for trailer use.
Are you guys using the Baxley without bolting it down? If so does it hold the big bikes,without moving around.
Tks

I purchased a wheel chock that looks very much like the bike pro from Harbor Tools for 39.95 last month. I use it for my road glide and it works great!

I would be real careful about putting a $20,000, 850 pound Road Glide in a chock that was NOT secured to the floor. On a real bumpy road, or speed bump, its very likey to shift...Iv'e seen it on a friends trailer.
The Bike Pro...and similar models, have a quick detach feature which leaves the floor clear. They are really worth the $$$ and once you use one, you'll never go back.
