Just got me a inexpensive 6x8 flatbed with half rails for $400 used at a yard sale LOL it is a drop lift bed not that i need that but it has no wheel chocks. I am intending on trying to track the RC30 and maybe the 51 too next year some finally and wonder where i might find some decent inexpensive wheel chocks?
I know of the baxley ones and a bit overkill i think so some simple perms or temps might do the trick for now

I have Baxleys in my trailer and love them. If its cheap and efficient you're looking for, then try the simple wheel chocks from Pit Bull or something similar.

Had the RC 51 and a 1000RR on them a couple weeks ago for a track day. Plenty of clearance for the discs. My 998 is on the trailer now. But my camera died and I sent it to Canon for repair. Figures........
$40?? The bastards! I got two of them for $20 each back in March and knew they were going to $30. I guess the back order status I had told them they were selling them too cheap.

Forget about the front wheel. The only way to transport a bike is with the Pit Bull trailer restraint. I have owned and used the Condor, the Bike Grab, and seen most if not all of the others in trailers, at track days or at shows. The Pit Bull is worth every penny. It secures the rear wheel and requires no other tie downs. Used one this past season trailering over 2000 miles with no issues.

I used a bike grab and baxley. the baxley was MUCH better. Nice thing about the 'full purpose' chock was that I can use it in the garage everyday and in the pits at the track.
I have an old Pingel chock not recommended. I have to use a small piece of 1x6 wood to lift the wheel high enough for the rotors not to hit. Not a problem when my dirtbike is back there only with sportbikes. I have mine mounted in the bed of my truck. I've had it forever so I keep hanging on to it cuz I like paid for stuff I guess.

One thing that pisses me off about PitBull is everything they make is very expensive, I mean the freaking pins alone for that device is $80, so if you change bikes often I can see how expensive it'll get. TPM uses a similiar system in their hauler that I believe is universal, not bike specific like this one....Im gonna have to check out what brand they're using on my next event.

I have that system. Strapless Transport Stands, made in Texas. He advertises on the Wera Boards. I bought one two years ago and its terrific. He also offers a 10% racer discount. But its neither cheap or a wheel chock....
In all fairness the Pit Bull system is easier to use and benefitted from the STS being out first. Pit Bull re-designed theirs better as a result. I agree though, Pit Bull's stuff is a little over priced. I guess its the cost of being a sponsor for so many race teams. Their stuff is quality though.
They aren't truly universal...the spacers are off the rear axle pin and he makes them for each kind of bike out of Delrin.
I recently bought a rear axle pin for the Daytona 675 and its completely custom since the axle hole is so small on the Daytona. STStands.com::: Gallery

+1 for Baxley's Wheel Chock. Throw it in the back of the truck, put the bike in and cinch the tie-downs snug. It aint going anywhere....and you get the dual purpose at the racetrack. Yoink it out the back of the truck, put it in the pit and roll up after a session.
Also, the Baxley has three pre-drilled holes in the crossmember section for bolting to the floor. I've bolted the milddle when using a wooden trailer floor, but it's really not neccessary. It grips whatever it's on well enough that stuff doesn't move around.
I know a trackday owner who just uses Baxleys on the floor and E-track to hold three bikes in thier trailer. They see all kinds of crazy mileage without issue.
Any recommendations for wheel chocks?
