Harbor Freight Motorcycle Stand/Wheel Chock?

[DAKn2]

I've been doing a lot of tear down and maintenance on my new-to-me 1997 RSTC. The more I think about it, the more I could see the Harbor Freight Motorcycle Stand/Wheel Chock coming in very handy.

I have a coupon that has it at $39 and was wondering if anyone has one, or has any comments. The spec is that it will hold a tire from 15 to 22 inches, but doesn't sate a maximum width, and we do have very wide front tires.

Is this sturdy enough to hold up an 800 lb RSTD?

On the box, it says maximum tire width of 130. I was going to buy one, but didn't because of that.

:sign yeah that:

 

Ya put a 150 in that thing and you'll have to let the air out to get the tire out of it. Been there done that!!!:mad:

 

Bolt this one to a 4' 2X8

Yep this is the one that'll fit best. Got one mounted in my trailer if it's ever needed

Hey Larry, I bought the same one you got in your trailer. Which hole did you use on the pivot, top middle or bottom? The venture & rstd's have a big front tire:think:
