Will the Motorcycle Wheel Chock Work with the Front Tire on a 2006 Harley Sportster 883
Question:
I have a 2006 Harley Sportster 883. The front tire measures about 4 inches in width. Will the TWSPWM work with this tire? I also have a 2009 Honda Rebel and the front tire measures 3.75 inches. Will it work with that one also? Thank You

Yes, the Tow-Rax Removable Wheel Chock, item # TWSPWM, will work for both your 2006 Harley Sportster 883, and your 2009 Honda Rebel. You will need to make sure that the bikes are secured with tie downs and the wheel chock will keep the bike from tipping or tilting to either side while being hauled.
When you tie the bikes down make sure and put pressure forward into the front of the wheel chock. I would recommend using the 5K Trailer Axle Strap with Rings, item # 58506, and at least 4 of the Snap-Loc Ratchet Tie-Down Strap w/ Strap Wrapper and S-Hooks - 1" x 8' - 833 lbs, Item # SLLS18RSR.
Use 2 of the axle straps on the handle bars along with two of the ratchet tie downs and be sure to compress the forks so that the suspension cannot cause the straps to come unhooked. Then use the other two ratchet straps to secure the rear of the motorcycle.
