Kafe Wheel-Chock Wheel Chock (Motorcycle)

Wanted a bolt less chock for my truck when we take our RV to somewhere warm in the winter. I did not want have to drill holes in the bed of my truck. Very well made. Good welds and all aluminum. Very light weight. Assembled in 10 minutes. Works great in the truck. You have to use tie downs because it will not lock the front wheel.

TL;DR: A decent product with a few flaws that could be easily fixed if the company wanted to.POSITIVES:- Solidly built aluminum pieces that are of decent thickness.- Great concept for a wheel chock that doesn't require you to drill any holes in your truck or trailer.- Light weight with an easy to use carry-handle.- Exceptional packaging except for one fatal flaw I'll mention below. The box has all free space filled with precision fit Styrofoam pieces.NEGATIVES:- Kafe's KAFE-Wheel-chock is now made by the DiscountRamps company which is an American company but this product has a "Made in China" sticker on it. And unfortunately there appears to be a lack of Quality Control. See attached pictures for "OK" welds, deep scratches and aluminum splatter that just shouldn't be there. There are other signs of sloppy workmanship but that was the worst of it.- Poor packaging in only one way is shown in the attached photo of the box corner as it appeared when it arrived. The box did not have anything to cover the end of the longer tubes that the extendable braces fit into. A simple extra bit of Styrofoam to pad the ends of the tubes would have most likely prevented the damaged ends that I had to fix with a hammer and a block of wood to straighten the bent sides to allow the extension to slide all the way in.- Incorrect and not included hardware:>The Tee handle bolts, used to tighten the extension legs, came with large washers that have a center hole that was too small to fit the bolts. There were also no lock washers included for the Tee handle bolts. I wouldn't trust the Tee handle to remain tight without a lock washer.>The 3 carriage bolts used to attach the left and right wheel stop sections: The instructions, compete with photos, specifically show NOT using any washers on the carriage bolts. So I didn't and when I tightened them down the crown popped off one acorn nut and almost removed the crown from a second. I decided to then use a flat washer and the included extra lock washers which allowed the bolt to not protrude far enough to further damage the acorn nuts.>There should have been small flat washers included since using the split locking washers without flat washers will gouge the aluminum as well as the plastic Tee bolts.>In total I had to acquire 11 additional flat washers, in two sizes, and 2 additional lock washers to properly assemble this product.- Poor assembly instructions:>Instruction say both a 5mm Hex wrench (not included) and 14mm & 16mm wrenches are required. Nothing required the 16mm wrench.>It stated there were 4 lock washers but there were 7 included.>There was no mention of the included extra large washers, though I surmised since there were only two, they should go on the Tee handle bolts but, as stated above, they don't fit.>No guidelines on how to tie down your motorcycle to best secure the front wheel into the chock. I highly suggest you use some youtube videos to learn how to make sure the bike is secured if you're not experienced.- Minimal welds: Short sections of the aluminum were welded where a full weld would have been preferred even though I'm feeling no flex or looseness on the welded parts.- No included mechanism to secure the wheel into the stop other than the tie-down that you'll use to secure the bike tensioned in the correct direction to hold it in place. I'm probably going to tie the wheel into the stop somehow just for added safety.BOTTOM LINE:Less than a $1 worth of washers, better QC,, a packaging tweak and an updated Assembly Guide would have gotten this product a 5 star review.

Really thought this would be unstable, weak, and flimsy. I was quite surprised at how well it worked. I use it in my Ford Transit. I have hauled a 650 bmw and a 250 lb dirtbike, both with excellent results. What can I say...the thing is great.

Works great in our toy hauler. Would have 5 stars but was missing parts. They shipped a whole new one and now have to return the other, they are big bulky boxes.

This is the best and the last wheel chock you will ever need for a two wheeled scooter or motorcycle. It fits nice and flat on the bed of my truck and is sturdy and stable. You only need two tie downs to connect to the eye bolts.

Nice portable chock. No need to drill holes just set and lock the extensions. Set mine in a trailer for a 2 hour drive with my bike without issue Very easy to assemble..

lightweight which is nice.Two things to pay attention to are the fact that it doesn't have a wheel lock which can be tricky in some situations and that the way it is set up doesn't allow to set two units side by side it is really meant to carry just one motorcycle at the center line of a trailer.

This Wheel Chock worked great with my 2016 Indian Chief Dark Horse. I was concerned about wheel chocks hitting the back side of the front fender. This design worked great for the Dark Horse fender!
