I recently bought a harbor freight wheel chock stand.
When I got home and put it together ,the front wheel didn't fit.
So I had to take it back apart and return it.
   Does anyone know a alternative one that will work with the valk.
Without the big price tag?

I stretched mine out until it fit...



There's others here who have reported that they park their bike in their chock
everyday, and it doesn't hurt anything for the tire to be pinched...

Ditto, just spread it out a bit and it works fine....

I use mine attached to a 4x8 3/4 piece of plywood..... Drive it right in and it saves room in the garage..... Also good for oil changes and workin on the bike.......

I have the same one above.  First time I bought their stand alone chock and my tire would not fit.  The one I have in the pics works fine but you need to bolt it down or mount it to something.

I park in one every time I get home. I have the pivot bolt in the center hole. I've never had a problem with mine. My is bolted to the floor to krrp in from sliding.

I have this same one and have it bolted to a1 X 12 X 8 so it won't slide.  Mine has the outriggers with the i-bolts for tying down the bike.
I park mine in this rig every night.
