| Wondering which wheel chocks to use for a Vision? I don't like to ride a trailer queen but i have a need to haul my bike and wonder which chock i should purchase? i don't want to invest a bunch of money as i might not use this more than once a year or so...
Thanks for the response in advance |

| I own 4 of the Condor trailer chocks and have used them to haul multiple different motorcycles, including my Vision on a few very long distance trips with no problems whatsoever.

Central Illinois | I got a tow last year and they used a Condor. It seemed to work very well. I have no idea the cost though. |

Vineland, NJ United States | I have the HF one and used it many times. Works OK, I drive it in and it locks the front tire. It is a pain in the a## to back it out (unless I'm doing something wrong). I have a hard time pulling it out once it's locked in. The other problem is the whole unit slides on my garage floor whether I'm pushing it in or pulling it out?? I need two people to do it safely. |

Barefoot Bay, FL United States | I have a Condor mounted permanently (without using a wrench under the trailer) in the middle of my Cargo Pro 12'X18' trailer. I use it every night as my "garage" in the summer, and it works slicker than snot on a frozen fence post, which we have a lot of here in Maine!!

Have the HF unit mounted to the garage floor and the bike is always parked in it. I don't have any trouble getting it off. DON'T use it alone!! Came home one day and found bike laying over on tipovers (man are they great). Good thing it fell away from wife's Sky! Now I always place a set of jackstands under the tipovers so it can't fall over. |

| Yep, I changed my front wheel to a 21" and the Condor is completely adjustable to pretty much anything and VERY STABLE. You cannot beat it. I got mine on ebay for about $175 total I think.
Echo Joe Schmoe don't buy one twice go ahead and get the best first.
