Motorcycle chocks in your garage?
For those of you that ride, have you installed any kind of motorcycle chock in your garage?
I've a couple of WheelDock chocks that I would like to permanently mount in the garage of a 397TH, and I'm wondering what the installation "challenges" will be.

I too use the WheelDock and love it. I mounted mine to the quick disconnect bar that mounts permanently in the 376TH. The 376TH was pretty easy as it had direct access to the underside for installing backing plates.

I was planning to install the backing plates, so that I could remove the Wheeldocks when we weren't traveling with the bikes. I'm hoping that I have clear access from the underside on the 397TH. On my old KZ MXT312, I had to drop the gas tank to be able to installing the backing plates. MAJOR PITA!

I installed and 8 foot piece of E-track on the floor of my garage using 3/4 inch wood bolts. Pre-drilled holes so they would hold better. I have a Harbor Freight wheel chock (very similar to Condor but much cheaper) and I made some modifications so it works great and is a quick install / removal. Almost don't notice the e-track when the chock has been removed.

Thanks for all of the data.
It appears that most installations included drilling through the floor and bolting the track/chock to the floor. I'm assuming that access from underneath the floor was clear and unobstructed?
