Lock N Load BK1000 Deluxe Motorcycle Wheel Chock with Quick-Release Ratchet & D-Ring System (Orange/Black)

I recommend watching any video you can find before installing, I did and it was very helpful. My trailer is a toy hauler and already had the D ring tie downs, so that made installation even simpler. Here are my two cents worth on usage:Leave the bike in gear while in transport, this will help, but don't forget the bike is in gear (like I did) when you try to back it out of the wheel chock. It took me a minute to realize why I couldn't get it to back out (Duh!)You want the ratchet straps to be pulling the bike forward into the wheel chock when tightening, not pulling it backward like I did see in one video.This is truly a one man job to load and lock into place. I travel mostly alone and was a key feature for me. The wheel chock holds the bike up without any tie downs. Tying down was simple. The front wheel strap is great, my front forks were not compressed at all when fully tied down. I added two additional straps for good measure, but don't think I really needed them. This fits my smaller bike, Yamaha XT 250 and my Harley Super glide just fine.

Easy to install. Had my Harley Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low loaded up on trailer and ready to go in less than an hour. No more needing a second person to help load now! Bike stands up straight on its own.

I really like this unit - but it isn't perfect. Certainly, it does what it's supposed to do, but there are just enough weird things that should have been if the company was truly paying attention to detail. But first, the GOOD. I have an enclosed 6x10 trailer for my Goldwing. I had a traditional Pingle type wheel chock and it worked great, but the Lock N Load is so much better! Before, after I rode the bike inside and bumped up against the chock, I would have to have my wife hold the bike upright for the brief moment before I was able to anchor the soft-ties (could not use the kickstand since the bike hit the wall before the stand hit the ground) and I think you can visualize that situation! I mean, she's no weakling, but a 900+ pound bike that only feels safe when it standing STRAIGHT up begins to lean - even an inch - and it's going where it wants to go. Not pretty at all. But with the Lock N Load, I drive the bike into the unit and up she goes a bit a LOCKS the front wheel tight. Now, I just step off the bike and grab the two rear side ratchet straps and snug them a little before strapping down the front wheel. Re-tighten the side straps and we're ready to go!Now for the Not-So-Good that would not have taken much more effort to get right.1. The way-too-thin plastic housing around the ratcheting mechanism was the first to break (No, I did not drop it.). I drilled out the rivets from the base and threw the rest away.2. There were very sharp edges on about every piece of flat metal. I took a metal file to all the sharp edges (which removed the nice orange powder coat - sad) and smoothed them all off. It is safe to handle now.3. The "Thumb Nuts" for attaching the Lock N Load to the base plate require a TOOL to remove. They are cast aluminum and the lock washers (as per instructions) bite into the Thumb Nuts so much, they pretty much chew the nuts up. I've decided to just use regular hex nuts from now on and carry a socket and ratchet.4. The instruction sheets leave a lot to be desired. I installed everything with little reference to the "instruction" sheets since I have a mechanical handyman background, but for someone who does not that background and experience, it may be a little tough going. But who doesn't have SOME mechanical ability if they own a motorcycle?That about sums it up. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who trailers a big cruiser bike. It makes it safer and easier to to load and GO! Get one NOW.

As others have noted, the plastic on the rear tie down spools will break on the first use if you're going to a high point on your bike. I believe the problem is these chocks are Harley centric, so the straps would typically not have much up angle on them on a typical Harley. On a sportbike like my KTM most of the spots to tie to are fairly high up the bike, so the strap breaks the plastic cover. Left picture is broken, right is not.

Excellent product. Easy to install, and use. I researched various motorcycle transport products before choosing Lock n Load. It appeared to be the best product for the job and it came at a reasonable price break. I transported my Harley Road King 1800 miles and the bike never moved at all during the entire trip. It literally takes only a couple of minutes to lock down the bike for transport and unlock when your ready to ride. When you consider the cost of a high end touring motorcycle these days you want to insure that they are safely secured during transport. I highly recommend this product.

I’m sending back the second Lock & Load system in a weeks time. I sent the first one back because the base plate was made incorrectly, with the top whole for the wheel chock to slide into, made upside down. There for the wheel chock will not attach to the plate because the wholes and bolts do not align. The replacement just arrived with the same issue, and I will be returning it. The packaging inside the main box with the other parts was all busted open. I don’t know if the manufacturer knows Amazon is selling faulty products with their trademark or if the manufacturer sold faulty products, either way I’ll be buying from someone else in the future.

Handy, easy to use and work.

This worked very well for me. I installed it in a Ryder box truck filled 60% full with my life belongings and the latter 40% filled with this and my Yamaha FZ6 (600CC mostly naked street bike). I drove it from Georgia to Los Angeles with zero problems. Checked it once a day. Not too hard to install but you certainly have to drill a few holes for the parts to mount

They advertise it takes 60 seconds to load and lock your bike I really don’t think it takes that long once you’re all set up.

This is the best system I have ever used. A bit pricy considering it's a peice of metal that's bent to hold a tire. But I know when my bike is in this system I can travel wherever I need to go and not worry about any harm coming to my pride and joy. Yes I recommend this product to anyone who is looking for quality they can count on.

Likes: Eaze of loading the bike, just drive on and strap down! Beefy materials with good welds.Areas of Concern: 1) The new version of the bottom plate has T-slots facing in opposite directions vs. the old ones. I have one of each now and prefer the old design. With the new design it is difficult to get the plate centred so that each bolt gets a good bite of metal slot. I don't understand the reason for the change.2) the front ratchet tie down system has a very narrow span around the tire and allows the bike to rock unless the rear tie-downs are firmly and tightly ratcheted down.The old design has proven to be worth its weight in gold as a trailer hauling 4 big BMW 1200 GSAs was involved in an accident where the trailer got air borne and all the bikes ended up unscathed. Proof positive.

Saw it at a local motorcycle trade show. Bought to keep the bike upright and take the balance the weight of a big touring bike rather than have it sit leaning on one side of the suspension. Plus will be handy to have upright for oil changes. Transferable to a trailer with an additional base plate.

nice set up
