Thanks for sharing, and I’m glad videos hang around on KZread for 11+ years. I copied your design and it works great. I don’t have tie-downs in the same position as your trailer so I made the bottom-front 2x4 the full width of the trailer.

I spent last night thinking about how I would weld up something to hold the bike in the trailer and that I would have to but this and that, then I see this and reckon I will have it done in an hour or two.. Brilliant and many thanks from Ireland.. can sleep easy tonight!

I am a carpenter and imo you did a very good and neat job. I think your chock will probably work better than most of those I could buy. Thanks.

Transporting 2 bikes in my truck. Didn't want to drill into the bed of the truck so this is perfect. Great job!

7 years old and still VERY relevant! I want to thank you for this vid. It worked awesome for me with very few modifications...I used this to haul a 2006 750 Honda Shadow from Sudbury Ontario to Elliot Lake Ontario....about 175 kms....checked twice in the city (Sudbury streets are rough) a few minor adjustments as the bike settled in...then checked along the highway about every 50 to 60 Kms....straps remained tight...bike was solid...again THANK YOU!!!

Wanted to thank you for posting your video of how to build and use your stand design. Just returned from a 3 1/2 hour road trip with an open U-haul trailer and a version of your stand to pick up my ( new to me ) 2008 Honda 750 Shadow Spirit. 100% ... everything was rock solid .. nothing moved ( more than it was supposed too ) and it arrived in perfect condition. Your small tips were greatly appreciated and very practical ... Thanx again

From one Tim to another SWEET WORK! I just finished building a DIY motorcycle jack from a 2x6 now I need to build a wheel chock. I will be using your design! Thanks and SAFE RIDING!

I've been shopping and 20 minutes ago almost purchased one for $119. Decided to come home check the front fender height before I purchased it. Google d motorcycle front wheel chock and this came up. Love it. Thank you

Thank you very much, making one today to go in the back of my truck so I can pick up my new bike on the weekend!

This is really well thought out and well constructed and inexpensive. I just roll my motorcycles into the pick up bed and put them on the kickstand and strap them down with straps like you did and they ride very well. Of course we don't have to haul our motorcycles around here in Georgia. We just ride them. No snow.

Tim, It's ingenuity like yours that makes You Tube so awesome. Great solid money saving idea.

Yesterday I built a version of the motorcycle wheel chock. It is every bit as durable as what you suggested it would be. Well done! and thank you!

2 by 4's less than 2$? Boy those were the days lol thank you for doing this video!

awesome work. i have two honda express mopeds 78 and an 81 and ill be making some wheel chocks in a few weeks for a trailer. thank you for the great video

Nice design Tim. I like the fact that it is removable. Thanks for sharing!

Great video you motivated me to build my own today. Thanks a lot for taking the time out to share.

Tim I was just thinking about a wheel chock from scrap 2X4 when I found this video thumbs-up to you. Keep making cool videos.

Excellent job! Thanks for posting!

Very nice build, made mine today.

Excellent! We have to trailer a large bike next weekend and will use this design. Thanks for sharing!

Tim, thank you for posting this neat design. I was thinking of making mine in steel but I don't really need to now that I've seen yours!

Thanks for posting the video! Something came up and I have no move on very short notice. I don't have time to get a wheel chock for my bike, so I figured I would make one that would work in a uhaul box truck. lol Some slight tweaking of the length of the uprights on your design and I believe it will work perfectly! Thanks again and good video.

nice! great job and great idea. i just jumped on youtube looking for the proper way to tie down a bike to transport. thanx

Thanks made me one in about an hour. Very helpful

Just got an enclosed trailer and need a chock for my HD. Looks very do-able. Thank you.

Just what was looking for to hold my bike up straight while I do some minor maintenance. Thanks

Great video, followed your plan today

Looks good, I'm going to copy it for my dyna I have to pick up. Nice job looks like it serves well!

What a great project. Just finished building one to your specifications. It'll hit the road in a couple days for the true test. I'm confident it'll be just fine. Thanks for taking the time to post this practical solution.

Glad you found it helpful. The only thing I'd do differently next time is to make the angled piece that goes from front to back along side the tire a little shorter. It was too close to my brake rotor, and if I shortened it it wouldn't be a problem at all.

Very nice and smart job ! sure i will use this idea to transport my Kawasaki here in France !

Fantastic, Thanks for posting this👍

Love it, still holding strong after a couple thousand mile trips.

Good job! Gonna build one similar to your based on your job well done. Thanks for sharing!

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have an ATV trailer and I need to transport my Suzuki Boulevard next month. I may have to modify where it meets the front of my trailer as I believe there’s an angle there, but this will get me going in tue right direction.

I'm refurbishing a zg1000 on my tilt-up flatbed trailer and I'm going to build this to secure the motorcycle while it's up there. Well designed and built. I'm going to glue and screw the angled gussets on mine with titebond.

thats a nice alternative plan ..thanks for sharing only change ,ill put a block in back of the front tire

Awesome, I'm headed south to pick one. Going to build me one of those

Awesome vidio,Thanks!!Great Job!!

about to build this, thank you so much for the tip!

Nice idea, I'm looking to make a temporary insert to turn my double Jetski trailer into a double motocross bike trailer, your vid will help thanks

A great and very important tip I just got. Zipties would be good for your setup so the hook doesn't slip out of the loop if shocks compress or if strap loosens.

Hi just seen your video wooden wheel chock great idea thank you 👍

Very nice job with the chock.

Thanks, just built this now.

Move forward to 2021. A 2X4 construction stud at Menards is $6.29. Your materials would be about $20.

I just bought a bike and was going to build one out of angle iron,but this is a better option for my needs,thx

Thanks for that. Great. I'm going to do this.

Thank you for the video, it works great for my Finn scooter golf bike.

Awesome design, I am going to use your model to transport a SYM HD 200 scooter along with a Piaggio BV 250 scooter. Thank you very much for the video.

Brilliant. Thank you, buddy. Shall use a variation of your design for my Piaggio MP3 Scooter (TWO front wheels). Again, thank you.

thanks tim great idea

Really cool idea.

Great idea. Looks very close to the brake disc rotor. If you were to use this idea for a sports bike with larger brakes I guess you just cut some shorter diagonals?

Great idea thanks

Thank you Tim

Good job 👍

I made one replica in 30 min! Great idea!!

Great 'how to' video Tim - well done. Following your design and measurements I've just finished mine. It took a little longer as I hand sawed the timber but does the job perfectly. Off to my local track tomorrow so it's getting used.

Great! Thank you.

Thx for this. I didn't want to drill in mine either. This modified for 2 dirtbikes would be perfect.

cool deal,got to try it

I am going to build this tomorrow

just made one and its going to work great just need it to go and pick up a bike. thanks so much great video

We have seen it on the trailer and on the driveway. Is there a possibility to see it on the snow and also on the grass? Haha. I learned something today so thank you sir.

I like the design. Do you think you could come up with something smaller for transporting a motorcycle in the back of a van. I just don't have the space to store this wheel chock with I am not using it.

Nice build! I think I'm gonna build something like this for my dirt bikes. Much cheaper option. Thanks

Good idea. Beats having to buy a pre-built, they can get expensive. Think I'll go this route!

Awesome..

Nice

I'd recommend using wood glue then screwing the pieces.Also, I beveled the front two boards where the tire first makes contact to help line it up.Take a 1" 45° cut off the inside corner of each 2x4.

Very nicely done my friend, and yes you are a biker so you are my friend ;o)

Great vid, how much play/distance do you have between the tire and the wood? I'm going to be building one soon and didn't know if the wood should contact the tire or have a little space in between. I was thinking a little space.

Geofiveo On mine it wasn't "squeezing" the tire by any means, but there was very little wiggle room. I don't think it would bother anything if there was a ½" or less on each side, as long as your straps are nice and secure. It's mainly to keep the tire from turning left or right and anchored to one spot.

good and cheap, i like that, thank you so much.

Great job, I was thinking of one addition that "might" help. The small piece at the top front which sits on top of the trailer front board, If you added another deeper piece it could hook onto the front board giving extra stability fore and aft? Just a little idea I thought I'd share. Hi from The North East UK.

Very nice, as good as this wheel chock is for transporting and it is but for what I've spent on my rides, I want nothing but the best to protect them, one fall of the bike will do more damage to my wallet then $250 I spent on Condor or Wheelchuck branded chocks.

nice job love not drilling my trailer

Looks like a great design. I assume that the chock will keep the bike from tipping over before one installs the straps?

Yes- it will hold the bike upright until the straps are secured. Kind of like a front bicycle tire in a bike rack. Thanks for the question. -Tim

I probably could have put it in the back of the truck, which is a short 5-foot bed, if I left the tailgate down. I just felt more confident using the trailer since it was easy to load. I've seen some videos of people trying to load motorcycles into truck beds on narrow ramps that didn't end well.
