Choosing the Right Chock

Q: Which Mockins motorcycle wheel chock fits my bike?
A: Match the chock to your front tire. The Narrow chock fits tires up to 6.1" wide, the Wide Base chock up to 6.5", and the Fat Tire chock up to 7.1". The adjustable 14-position chock fits tires 16" to 25" tall and up to 4.5" wide.

Q: How do I find my tire width?
A: Read the numbers on your tire sidewall, such as 130/70-18. The first number is the width in millimeters. Divide it by 25.4 to get inches (130 mm is about 5.1").

Q: What is the weight capacity of each wheel chock?
A: The Wide Base chock supports up to 1,800 lbs, the Fat Tire chock up to 1,600 lbs, the adjustable 14-position chock up to 1,500 lbs, and the Narrow chock up to 1,200 lbs. Use your bike’s wet weight, including fuel, fluids, and gear.

Q: Which chock is best for a dirt bike?
A: The Wide Base chock lists dirt bikes, sport bikes, and cruisers as compatible. The adjustable 14-position chock is also a strong choice, since its 16" to 25" tire-height range covers many dirt bike front wheels.

Q: Which chock fits fat-tire cruisers, bobbers, and adventure bikes?
A: The Fat Tire Motorcycle Wheel Chock with Stabilizer Base fits front tires up to 7.1" wide.

Q: Which chock lets me haul more than one bike side by side?
A: The Narrow chock has a low-profile, compact frame designed for side-by-side mounting, so you can fit multiple motorcycles on one trailer or in one garage.

Q: Can I use a wheel chock on the rear wheel, a scooter, or an ATV?
A: Mockins wheel chocks are designed to hold the front wheel of a two-wheeled motorcycle. They are not intended for ATVs or four-wheelers. For smaller scooter wheels, check your tire height and width against the listed ranges before ordering.

Installation & Use

Q: Do I still need ratchet straps with a wheel chock?
A: Yes. The chock holds the front wheel upright, but you should always secure the bike with ratchet straps before transport. Every Mockins wheel chock includes 2 ratchet straps.

Q: Will the chock hold my bike upright without the kickstand?
A: The chock is designed to hold the front wheel upright so one person can roll the bike in, step off, and strap it down. Keep a hand on the bike until the straps are snug, and never leave a bike unstrapped in transit.

Q: Is the chock freestanding or does it need to be mounted?
A: The Wide Base and Fat Tire chocks can be used freestanding or bolted down. The Narrow and adjustable chocks are mountable designs. For transport, we recommend bolting any chock to a solid surface.

Q: Where can I mount a wheel chock?
A: Trailer floors, truck beds, lift tables, and garage or shop floors. Make sure the mounting surface and hardware are strong enough to support your bike’s weight.

Q: How should I position the chock on a trailer or truck bed?
A: Plan your strap anchor points first, then set the chock so the bike sits centered and the straps can pull forward and outward at an even angle.

Q: How do I tie down my motorcycle after loading?
A: Roll the front tire into the chock, then attach the ratchet straps with soft loops to strong points such as the lower triple clamp or frame, one on each side. Tighten until the suspension compresses slightly without bottoming out, and avoid handgrips, brake lines, and plastic parts. Re-check the straps after the first few miles.

Q: Will the chock touch my fender or brake rotor?
A: Check clearance before your first trip. The cradle should not contact the fender, brake rotor, caliper, or fork guards. If anything touches, choose a chock that better matches your tire size.

Q: Can one person load a motorcycle with this chock?
A: Yes. The chocks are designed for solo loading, so you can roll the bike into the chock, let it stand upright, and then secure it with the straps.

Materials & Durability

Q: What are the wheel chocks made of?
A: They are built from durable steel designed to resist rust and wear.

Q: Are the chocks weather-resistant?
A: Yes, the steel construction resists rust for use in the garage, on a trailer, or in a truck bed. For extended durability, keep the chock dry, store it indoors when not in use, and apply a rust-resistant spray if the finish gets scratched.

Q: Can I leave the chock installed permanently?
A: Yes. The mountable designs can stay bolted in your trailer, truck bed, or garage. For long-term storage, also secure the bike with a strap or place it on a stand.

Wheel Stands (Front & Rear Combo Set)

Q: How much weight do the Mockins wheel stands lift?
A: The Front & Rear Motorcycle Wheel Stand Lift Combo Set supports bikes up to 850 lbs and is made for tire service, oil changes, chain maintenance, detailing, and other garage projects.

Q: Which motorcycles do the stands fit?
A: The adjustable front mounts fit fork bottoms from 6.5" to 10.4". The rear L-Paddle adapters fit flat swingarms from 8.2" to 12.1", and the rear U-Fork adapters fit spools and bobbins from 9.2" to 13.1".

Q: What surface should I use the stands on?
A: Hard, level surfaces only, such as a concrete garage floor. Do not use them on soft or uneven ground.

Q: Will the stands scratch my forks?
A: The front mounts include protective rubber sleeves to help prevent fork scratches.

Q: What comes with the stand set?
A: The set includes front and rear stands, rear L-Paddle and U-Fork adapters, and 2 ratchet straps.
