·Quick bit of background is in order. I've yet to find an intelligent way to tie a Hayabusa down in the back of a pickup. I had previously purchased a welded T-bar off an eBay vendor to transport the bike (so as to keep the tie-downs from rubbing the bike's wide body), but it's not as secure as I'm comfortable with. After some shopping around, I bought a Baxley Sport Chock.
This is easily the most nicely made, well engineered motorcycle accessory I've ever owned, of any kind. It's heavy, with sturdy rubber feet that don't skid, and thick wrinkle coat paint. It works like a charm. Once you roll even my big heavy scooter into this thing, you can clamber around on the back end of the machine with the SOB locked into place, nary a worry. Two straps running from the swingarm brace forward to the tie-down points in the front floor of my pickup's box and I'm good to go! Outstanding product that does double duty as a work stand/transport device, and really nice folks to deal with on the phone at Baxley.
They ship the owner's manual for the chock with several pieces of what some people might label Christian propaganda, but being a God fearing man myself, I'm not the least bit offended by it. In fact, I'd rather deal with the straight-up folks at Baxley Trailer Company than alot of people in the aftermarket business these days.
$205 for black, $215 for colors (including Honda red). I give the Baxley Sport Chock two hearty thumbs up! :thumb: :thumb:
