Wheel chock on motorcycle lift.
« on: April 01, 2022, 12:14:20 AM »
Like many of us I am using a harbor freight special for a lift. I was kind of wondering for those of you who have upgraded your wheel chock what you have gone to and if you have a picture and a link?

The same store used to sell some fairly inexpensive chocks.

 I made this one out of left-over metal, it was on my lift but I robbed it and mounted it in the car trailer.  I'm back to the stock wheel clamp with a couple pieces of plywood between the vise and tire to give it more bite on the tire.

I took the original wheel chock off my HF lift and threw it under the tool box. It's only good for clamping boards while I cut them. I have one of those chocks with the the part that flips up behind the tire that I can bolt to the lift table but it spends more on the bike trailer. We are usually pulling the front end off for a rebuild so the wheel chock is in the way but it works a lot better than the original.
