- The low to floor design with lower pivot point makes it easier to roll into
- Allows you to use it permanently in the trailer in the shop mode with rubber feet
- Assembles easily in about 15 minutes and keeps your bike straight up
- Adjustable to fit tire sizes ranging from 12 inch to 26 inch diameter
- The weight of the bike locks it into place

Well engineered, needed assembly but it was not bad, 20 min or so to set up for the bike. Enough adjustment to take either my street bike or the dual sport. Used this item for a large bike, inside a trailer that went over road, then via ship, road again and arrived in fine condition. Much better item than the Harbor Freight branded product.
I purchased the Steadymate 80014 Motorcycle Wheel Chock to use in my garage, holding upright my 833 lb. Kawasaki Nomad. Following the well-written instructions, I had no problems assembling it. The kit included two packages of hardware. One package contained hardware to securely mount the Steadymate on a trailer bed. I used the other package, which contained rubber feet to bolt on the bottoms of the two crossbars, for using the Steadymate in a free-standing configuration on my concrete garage floor.Driving the motorcycle onto the pivoting front chock bracket requires carefully lining up the front tire with the base of the unit. That part is pretty easy but, once engaged with pivot chock bracket, the tire simply pushed the unit across the floor. To prevent it from sliding I had to place it against a heavily weighted backstop.
My bike's front tire is a 130/90-16 and it looks a bit too wide for the pivot bracket. If there was a wider space between the "ears" on the bracket the front tire might roll onto it easier, rather than pushing it across the floor. The sliding problem might not be experienced with a lighter motorcycle, or one with a narrower front tire, but for bikes similar to mine, I can't recommend the Steadymate.
