    Question Motorcycle Wheel Chock

    Can anyone tell me where to find plans for a motorcycle wheel chock? Can't seem to be able to find anything on the web.

    One to clamp and hold the front wheel on a lift or elevated ramp, or one to hold the front wheel on a trailer or in a truck bed?

    This may be a little more than you're looking for -
    If so you can just leave out the 'rocker'.[IMG][/IMG]

    Kinda hard to see in the pic but the weight of the bike holds the front wheel snug.
    It's heavy enough to stand alone or can be bolted down.
    I've sold 6 of these so far - the Goldwing guys seem to really like 'em.

    OK, now you have my attention - Motorcycles!
    I've been lurking for a while soaking up tons of great stuff, but had to register for this.

    The Goldwing crowd does go for those roll-on stands, and the Harley guys too. They are great for loading a trailer. The typical routine is to put the kickstand down, strap the high side then strap the low side loosely so the bike can be righted. There is the tricky part.

    Here's another product on the market (Wheel Dock) that has a nifty feature - a pushdown lever to eject the front wheel from the cam. I like it.

    The site also has a bolt-on center stand that the Harley guys will NOT go for. Picture that line of Big Twins in front of a roadhouse, all backed in at 'the angle' and leaning left. Nobody wants their bike to be the one standing straight up!

    http://wheeldock.com/

    Check out that EBay site then look at the prices the fancy ones command.

    Archer -
    I looked for those plans where they are supposed to be - of course they weren't there !
    Give me a day or two and I'll dig 'em up.

    The plans are pretty straight forward, obviously you can adjust them to utilize the materials you have on hand.
