Been trying to buy a couple for two weeks everytime they get them in they are gone quicker then stink on crap!!!!!
Hell I don't even know if it will fit most chocks are made for 80 to 1300 mm tires. The cheap ones they have can be spread with force to fit the R3.

I've never had nor used a wheel chock before so please excuse the dumb questions.

Is the intent of the chock to allow you to place the front wheel in it and it will hold the bike upright? Is so, I assume that you have to anchor the chock to the floor or something else that will prevent it from rotating right or left. Is that correct?

your right TDragger as you drive the bike in the back part of the chock rotates up and captures the back of the wheel holding it secure. At Harbor frieght they also have one with rubber feet and a wider stance to use in your driveway. I never used them either but this year I am hauling more then one bike to Daytona so I went for extra safety cause I don't want any chances of the bikes shifting on the trailer.

I was wondering if you were riding down. Going Harley, eh?

If any of you use one of those brackets, it would be cool to read a review as to how well it holds up under the R3's size and weight.

Looked a bit small for the larger bikes. Looks to be perfect for the 500lb. sport bikes.

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Good one I am not riding mine cause sometimes things happen on the dyno, hell Brembo's outer clutch basket detinated on the dyno it would be a long cold push north if mine has problems on the dyno.
If it does not then you and I can run down to the southern street shoot out and we can see who's Rocket runs like a harley

Also pretty simple to build a wooden one that works well if you've got some basic carpentry skills. Much simpler if you can get one for $30, but had to build one on a friends trailer last year when we had an unexpected addition to out bike week journey. Worked well.
