Wheel chock at HF on sale again
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=96349
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. ;) Login or Register to Remove Ads |

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

Wheel chock at HF on sale again
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...

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 |
