Review on 🏍️ MaxxHaul 70271 Adjustable Motorcycle Wheel Chock Stand - Heavy-Duty 1800 lb Weight Capacity by Mike Kimball

There are some negative and misleading one star reviews here. This is my no-nonsense, no-nonsense 4.5 star review. I posted it here because most people look at negative reviews first. This does not detract from the experience of others. First, I have 2 Harleys, an Ultra Glide and a Fat Boy. Both are equipped with the standard 90 x 16 tires found on every bike. I bought wheel chocks because I'm moving across the country and wanted a little more security than just my ties. There are many 1 star reviews out there that are misleading and misinforming and obviously suffer a bit from user error. Let me share my experience. .>> The pads themselves are durable and look like they will last a long time. Fit and finish were good. >> The boxes arrived a bit dented. no wonder, since they are quite heavy and loaded on one side. >> All parts needed for assembly were present. >> The operating instructions are not operating instructions. This is truly a guide to responsibility. The parts diagram was clear and assembly was so obvious and easy that I didn't even look at the manual until I had everything assembled. Some have suggested assembly was tricky and if they believe that then I doubt they were stuck behind a set of handlebars. >> Plastic feet on a stabilizing bar glide on concrete (or any other) floor. But this shoe is designed to be permanently attached to the ground. You can pay 3x more for a more portable system like the Condor Pit Stop, but it won't hold your bike any better. >> When assembling the first one, I was trying to roll my fat man onto a stand. The 90mm tires seemed too wide to fit the channel and I couldn't load the bike so I was very disappointed. But instead of giving up, I decided to try a little harder and to my surprise and delight the bike jumped into the cradle and stood there like a rock. The problem was operator error on my part. The bottom line is, don't be afraid to roll a heavy bike on a stand.>> You must use the impact technique to get the bike off the stand. Raise the plastic legs all the way up to get a slightly better angle to lift the bike out of the mount. >> Before putting my Ultra on the stand, based on other comments I removed the fender skirt as I did when measuring the clearance. From the skirt to the floor, this was exactly the distance that the back part stuck out. After 5 minutes and 6 screws I put the Ultra in the stand and it was as tight and secure as a fat man. I take a few inches off the back of the rocker arm to reattach the front fender skirt. Since the Ultra is significantly heavier than the Fat Man, getting it off the stand was a little strenuous, I mounted the stands on panels of 1 inch thick plywood cut to 4 feet by 3 feet. I also installed a wooden strip. through the plywood on each side to give me more traction and leverage. The plywood panels fit the walls of my garage to keep them in place when loading the bikes. >> Some drilled new bottom rocker arm holes so the lift isn't as high and easier to load and unload I haven't decided whether to do this or not as the lift is partly responsible for keeping the bike on tight To hold in place transport.>>Reasons I didn't give this pad 5 stars for the fact that the travel is a bit high, the wheel size adjustment is on the front stay and not the rocker, and that the back of the rocker is a little longer It goes very well with my large iron for transport and storage in my garage.
