ST1300 Wheel Chock

[Skyhawk945]

Trying to find a suitable wheel chock for trailering my ST1300. There are many shapes, sizes, and styles available which makes it more difficult. Really would like to find a premium fit chock without ordering 10 different units.

Has anyone found a really good (bolt down) chock that fits the ST1300 very well?

I use a Condor Wheel chock. The positioning is adjustable to use with different bikes. I bought mine with my Trailer in a Bag, but I'm sure someone sells them seperately.

I have a Condor, as well. It adjusts to work on just about any size front wheel. Mine's been used on the ST13, the KLR, the DRZ, and Steve's Ducati ST3. The part that holds the front tire pivots over center to securely hold the wheel. Mine came with a "trailer" adapter that allows a small bracket to be attached to the trailer floor to quickly attach and detach the chock. I use the Condor in the back of a pickup (rubber coating on the parts that contact the bed) and don't need to bolt it down. I don't think that you'd need to secure it to the floor of a trailer, either. There are holes drilled in it if you want to bolt it down (four points) instead of using the trailer adapter or just setting it on the floor. It's a little pricey, but you'll never need to buy anything else. Mine is the "Pit Stop/Trailer Stop" model. They have a trailer-only model that is $65 less.

I have the Baxter LA chock (http://www.baxleycompanies.com/LAChock.html) and like it a lot. It fits a wide range of tires, including the ST.

Harbor Freight has a heavy one like the Condor, and it's way less money. Website is down currently for maintenance. Watch to see if the flipper part catches the chin of the fairing, and turn it around if need be.

Baxley! A bit more expensive than some (especially the Harbor Freight) but a cleverly designed and well-made chock. I use mine as a stand in the garage, or have their detatchable mounts for trailer use.

Here's the harbor freight chock... Also very easy to find 20% coupons... I would recommend this!

Here is the other larger and heavier Harbor Freight wheel chock. They are not quite as nice as the baxley but for the cost you could have 3 of these or 6 of the other one.

I have 2 of these and 10 of the 39.00 one for a 10 bike trailer (I made them removable and adjustale on E trac)

Thank you very much for all the good information I appreciate all the replies!

Upon further investigation, DON'T USE THE BAXLEY ON THE ST. It put a small "smile" in the chin of the lower fairing, so I drilled two small holes at the end of the "smile" to stop any run.

Anyone have any suggestions on covering up the crack?

Re: ST1300 Wheel Chock for Stuff Stopper Fender Extender owners?

I'm just one of the satisfied customers of the "Stuff Stopper" and I have a question for other Stuff Stopper owners:

I purchased a 5'x10' utility trailer with 15" wheels for around the house use and to trailer my bike(s) for those times when she needs to ride instead of roll.

Back to the question; I'm looking for a front wheel chock for my trailer that will accommodate the "Stuff Stopper?"

Do any of you use a chock that will work (name brand and model number) with the Stuff Stopper?

I have PM'd the Blue One, but he did not know of any brands other than the one he improved to fit his needs.
