Video Transcript for Rackem Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock Review
What's going on everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Rack'Em Removable Motorcycle Wheel Chock. If you're like me, and you got a two wheel motorized vehicle, and you have a tire with less than six and a half inches, that's what you need to be able to use this wheel chock. Wheel chocks are really nice just because, this one's removable, which is awesome, but also just the wheel chock being what it is. It really helps getting everything locked down.As you can see, I have mine strapped to the left and the right side of my handlebars. As I started tightening one, the wheels are trying to turn the whole entire time.
This way, it's going to keep it nice and combined in there. And now that I'm pulling forward too, it's pushing up against this front part, which is extremely, extremely solid. It doesn't matter what kind of roads you bring this thing back on, it's not going to tip over.To sum it all up, I've been using a lot of different wheel chocks today. And one thing that is unique to this one is just the powder-coated finish. All of them are kind of the same.
If they're removable, they're removable, great. Some are going to be able to fit up to like a seven inch tire, but that's not too much of a difference for me not to like this one just as much as all the other ones. The installation process wasn't too hard, so let's go over that with you now.First thing we want to do is just getting an idea of where you want your bike to be. For me, I want to be able to walk through the door you're standing in. And of course, I want to be able to access my little hatch here, got a spare tire and some tools in there.
This way, my back's going to be here and I have all this room to get all my stuff ready for the trip. What I'm going to do is just place it down, take a little Sharpie or something, and mark these eight holes. And that's where we're going to do our drilling.You are going to have to supply your own hardware, pick your drill bits accordingly. Now what we want to do is take these little holes right here, and we want to make sure that the skinny part is going to be facing towards the bend. I want to get my bike in like this.
The skinny part is facing that way by the bend right here. Just keep that straight, we don't want to put it on backwards.Do that, grab your hardware, and a friend if you got one, and I do. He's going to go underneath and tighten all these up for me while I hold it up top. Now, we can go ahead and take our chock and fit these two little studs right here in that first slot, and slide it forward. And then we have some hardware that came with the kit, which is awesome. It's this little wing nut guy. What we want to do is put that into the slot, and that's going to thread in the threaded portion of that bottom bracket that we just secured down, and that's all we got do. And we are in business.Before I get the bike and load it up, I just wanted you to get a good look at the nice finish to it. It is going to be an extreme ware hammered powder-coated finish and it's going to be extra, extra strong. So if you have an enclosed trailer, definitely not going to rust away. And if it's on the outside of a trailer, you really don't have to worry about it. It looks really, really cool, and it's going to be extra tough against mother nature. And that's going to do it for our look at the Rack'Em Removable Motorcycle Wheel Chock. And I'm Adam at etrailer.

Wheel chock helps to stabilize your motorcycle, dirt bike, or other small vehicle for transport. It can quickly be removed from its base for versatility and will accept wheels up to 6-1/2" wide.by: Billy Diesel07/01/2023
They are OK. I’m using them on a snowmobile trailer, so the ability to detach the chock and just leave the base is appealing. Hopefully they last. Fit and finish is a bit rough and it takes some force to bend the chock to screw it to the base.
by: Josh W03/18/2024
Nice chock but doesn't really prevent the tire from going left and right. This is good for when you need to prevent the motorcycle from moving forward when strapping it down.
by: Eric10/08/2022
Worked well. A little wider than I needed for bicycles. Initial set up took some time. Had an issue with a trailer beam being in the way for one bike and ended up installing in reverse (on reverse side of tire) as result. Need to make sure the bikes are properly tied down. No issues with a total of about 1200 miles of hauling this year. Nice that you can quickly remove all but the bracket, in order to use trailer for other purposes, and not have brackets in the way.
by: Jason04/24/2018
I use this to trailer my KTM 350 dirt bike and it does a good job. I was concerned that the chock was going to be too wide for my dirt bike tire, but it holds it securely and it is not too wide of a chock. The pic of the tire in the chock is size 110/100-18 for reference. The chock is quality made and does not feel flimsy or cheap in any way. The painted coating is a thick type of texture that is tough and would be hard to scratch up. Mounting the base to my wooden trailer floor was very easy and the chock is solid when attached to the base. I have trailered my bike on short and long hauls (300 miles) and the chock mount wing nuts have never loosened. The chock works well and I ended up buying another one. As you can tell from the pictures the chock still looks brand new and it has been used many times.
by: Ken 08/01/2023
Well made and well thought out design. Due to its ability to be removed easily, it works great as the Third wheel chock that I mounted in the rear of my 6X12 trailer. After mounting the first two bikes in the front of the trailer, I then Mount this one at the rear which allows for easy access of all three bikes.
by: Ray 05/03/2024
Great product.
by: Doug09/28/2020
Wheel chock & base mounts very easily and looks great. Very convenient to be able to remove wheel chock frame from the base. Would be nice to have an option for a narrower wheel chock for dirt bike width tires that could mount on same base.
by: JB07/06/2021
Easy enough to install and heavy/durable. Ran into minor issue when the bolt hole on the chock did not line up exactly with the hole on the plate so I had to forced the wing nut to screw in on one side. I'm leaving in 4 days and need it this so no time to exchange. Not sure what will happen when I go to remove it and/or re-attach the chock (stripped threads maybe...). Other than that it's good. Seems a little pricey for what it is though.
The instructions read "1\4" long bolts" but really it's 1\4" diameter bolts at whatever length needed for your application. Easy enough to figure out that 1\4" long doesn't make any sense but since it's worded odd in the instructions I'm pointing it out. I just took the plate to the hardware store to make sure I got all the right size bolts, washers, and lock/stop nuts.

Going to be used for transporting a Spyder in an enclosed trailer. Fit the front wheels snugly.
by: Bob B.10/13/2017
I bought two of these to go on an open 4 x 8 trailer. They were very easy to install and being removable, still leave the trailer available for other uses. The quality is superb... very pleased.
by: Gary 06/08/2023
Wheel chock is well made and will work perfectly for my needs. etraler was fast is shipping this order.
by: Brock09/01/2023
I would have given 5 stars if the bases were shipped with the chocks. I am giving 3 stars for Brittney who responded within hours of my inquiry and placed an order for the missing bases. She saved the sale.
by: Rodger10/02/2022
I didn't receive any mounting hardware.I leave next Wednesday for a trip and really wanted to put these on my trailer.
by: Joe 07/11/2021
It's the perfect solution to keep my cargo trailer floor un-cluttered. One minor suggestion would be to attach the lock washer to the mounting screw. I remove the chocks when not in use and the hardware can easily be lost. Other than that, I love 'em.
by: Dan12/05/2017
Thank you for getting the parts here fast delivery the parts look great the paint job on the items excellent there nice and sturdy and I can't wait to put it in my trailer

They hold my bikes very well when I go to the shows
by: Tom S10/05/2016
Product arrive as scheduled. I mounted the wheel chock in my trailer and it looks good. Tried resting my bike in it and it is going to work well. My bike has a low profile tire and dual brake rotors. This chock is going to work just fine.
by: Bob K09/30/2021
Product is advised. Works well with 400 lb motorcycle inside cargo trailer. Nice removable feature if not being used.
by: Ricky04/23/2018
Work great. I have 4 of them in my cargo trailer. Can easily remove them by hand to move bikes around.
by: cj04/08/2015
We've ordered more than once from etrailer and every product has lived up to its description; this one was no exception. Excellent quality, sturdy, and exactly what we needed for stabilizing a motorcycle for cross-country travel.
by: Linda05/25/2021
Sturdy, well packaged. etrailer we great in communicating our package would be a bit delayed and asked if we would like to substitute the delayed item. We chose to wait and the package arrived within a couple days.
by: George K12/01/2016
Perfect. Great quality. Using it inside of my enclosed trailer. No bolts/screws included.
by: John05/20/2022
I never got to use it, I did put the bike on the trailer and it seems to have worked well.
by: Paul A09/30/2017
Totally useless, per the photos and video I thought the mounting hardware was included. All I received is the chock which I will be returning for a refund. Very dissatisfied.
by: Frank 07/30/2020
I have another RA-17 and it’s great. I ordered my second one on a Tuesday afternoon with 3 days shipping, it arrived late the next late morning.
That’s service.

- Wheel Chock Recommendation for 2013 Honda Elite ScooterBased on my research your 2013 Honda Elite scooter has a 90/90-12 front tire, which measures 3.5 inches wide and 18.4 inches in diameter. For a tire this size I recommend the Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock Item # RA-17 to stabilize your scooter. It works for tires up to 6.5-inches, so this will be a great fit for you. The MaxxTow simply bolts on where you want to install it, but the hardware is not included to install. I attached a helpful installation video for you to check...
view full answer... - Can the MaxxTow Adjustable Motorcycle Wheel Chock Hold a Honda GoldwingThe Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 does not have a weight capacity or a bike size limit. It is dependent on how it is mounted. For example if secured to a metal or solid wood floor using the proper fasteners for that material then it could handle a Honda Goldwing, no problem. With that said the chock will accept tires that are up to 6-1/2 inches wide so nothing larger than that would fit. I do recommend additional supports such as tie downs # EM05729. You would not...
view full answer... - Motorcycle Tie-Down System for 2019 Honda Goldwing TourWe do get asked that a lot. I haven't heard any plans from B&W to make a Biker Bar like # BWMC2301 for your Goldwing. The haven't done the research and development to make the bar for the frame that attaches to the base with anchor plates. You can get the B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System Base with Anchor Plates # BWMC2300 and then customize a bar like # BWMC2302B for compatibility. As of right now, the Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 along with tie downs...
view full answer... - Does Rack Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 Include the Base AssemblyYes, the base portion of the Rack 'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 is included with the chock. The base installs with user-supplied hardware (8 fasteners are needed) and the chock can be easily removed, leaving only the base on the deck of your trailer. This item will accept wheel widths up to 6-1/2-inches. You may want to consider tie down straps like # SLLS18RSR to help secure your bike.
view full answer... - Wheel Chock Recommendation for Harley Davidson Street Glide with 5-1/2 in Wide TireGreat News. The Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17can fit tires up to 6-1/2 inches wide and would work well for you so the tire width is not an issue. I have attached a review and install video for you.
view full answer... - Can I Carry Motorcycle With a Hitch Carrier on My Nissan PathfinderI looked up the owner's manual for your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder and it gives all of the specifications and how to check for proper loading, and weight capacities, you can find it on page 10-17 - 10-22. The maximum tongue weight for your Pathfinder is 600 lbs, which is 10% of the max towing capacity 6000 lbs. So unfortunately since the total weight is over 600 lbs, I cannot recommend it, if you can shave 21 lbs off the carrier or the bike it would be within the manufacturers limit. I think...
view full answer... - Can Cradle RackEm Wheel Chock be Removed From Base When Not in UseYes, the Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock Item # RA-17 is easily removable to free up space when you aren't transporting your bike.
view full answer... - Wheel Chock Recommendation for 2015 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic LowMost likely you are going to need the part # RA-17 as it can accept a tire that is up to 6-1/2 inches wide. You will need to check the width of your tire to see if this will work. Then you will need tie downs. For tie downs ShockStrap has a set of 4 straps specifically for motorcycles, # 297-7RSBB-M. With the built in shocks these straps won't accidently slip off. Or you could use strap set # 06303 combined with traditional ratchet straps such as # 317-340720. Check out the install...
view full answer... - Will Spyder Hauler Fender Fit with Rack'em Wheel Chock # RA-1We haven't had anybody confirm a fit for a Spyder hauler, but I can confirm that the highest point of the Rack'em Wheel Chock # RA-17 from the ground is 8-9/16". If you measure from the ground to your fender you will be able to tell if it will make contact with your fender of not.

- Compatibility of RackEm Wheel Chock with 2011 Harley Davidson Ultra ClassicAs long as the tire is not any wider than 6-1/2 inches, the Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 will work great for you. If you click the provided link, you can see a copy of our return policy. I have linked you to a product demonstration video, as well as a video showing the chock being installed.
view full answer... - Additional Base Plate for the Rack'em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock Part # RA-17The part number for the base plate used in the Rack'em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock part # RA-17 is the Steel Replacement Base part # RA-17B. Please keep in mind that this is the base plate only and you will need to supply your own hardware in order to secure the base plate to your trailer.
view full answer... - Will Rack'Em Wheel Chock Fit with a 1997 Honda Valkyrie TourerThe Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 is compatible with tires up to 6-1/2" wide so if that's the case with your 1997 Honda Valkyrie Tourer then this will work just fine!

view full answer... - Removable Wheel Chock Options For A Dresser Harley DavidsonI do have a few wheel chock options for you to consider however, none of which include a quick release function. For your Dresser Harley, I recommend using the Rack'em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock part # RA-17 as this unit will fit wheels up to 6-1/2" wide. I also recommend the Erickson Motorcycle and ATV Tie-Downs part # EM05729 to secure the bike. The best option to use would be our B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System for Trailers part # BWMC2301 as this is a top of the...
view full answer... - Hitch and Motorcycle Carrying Options for 2012 Ford Focus HatchbackThe hitches that are available for your 2012 Focus Hatchback are all Class I hitches, that have a 200 lb tongue weight capacity. This would mean that 200 lbs is the maximum amount of weight that would be suspended from the hitch, which would include the weight of the carrier. I'm sorry to say that you wouldn't be able to carry your bike on a hitch mounted carrier. This being said, you could still install a hitch like the Curt Hitch # C11158 and carry your bike on a small utility trailer....
view full answer... - Can a Honda Shadow Spirit 750 be Carried on an etrailer Motorcycle CarrierI would not attempt to carry a 2002 Shadow Spirit 750 on the etrailer motorcycle carrier, item # e98873. Your best bet for transporting your motorcycle would be a small trailer equipped with a wheel chock like part # RA-17. There are simply too many variables with a street bike that size, and you may have trouble with the spare tire on the Jeep. Other items you may need are the Motorcycle Assist Straps, item # 06303, and the Soft Tie Motorcycle and ATV Tie Downs, item # EM05729.
view full answer... - Can the Rack'em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 Attach to Metal Trailer FloorYes, the Rack'em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 would work well on a metal bed trailer like yours. It can basically be attached to any surface. The mounting hardware is not included so you would need to source nuts and bolts to attach to your trailer. You would need a total of 8 fasteners.
view full answer... - How to Tie Down a Motorcycle in a 7x14 Foot Enclosed TrailerIf I were you I would go the route of using a wheel chock like our Rackem Wheel Chock # RA-17 and then use the E-tracks to tie down your bike by compressing the forks. The other method you described where you said you wanted to hang the bikes could possibly work but most likely if you were to hit bumps in the road your bike might bounce and become unattached and fall. The E-Track 2 inch D-Ring # E59143 would work well with a set of tie-downs like the Erickson Cargo Tie Downs # 05605....

- Options for Carrying a 600 lb Scooter Behind an RVSince the trailer hitch on your RV has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs, it is safe to assume that it has a 500 lb tongue weight. Trailer hitches are almost always designed to have a tongue weight rating that is 10 percent of the towing capacity. I would not recommend carrying your scooter with a hitch mounted carrier on your RV. In fact, most hitch mounted motorcycle/scooter carriers are not recommended for use on motor homes or RVs because the trailer hitch is further away from the rear...
view full answer... - Will RackEm Removable Wheel Chock Work with 2009 Goldwing TrikeThe Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 is a great choice and what I recommend for securing your 2009 Goldwing to your trailer. This wheel chock will hold tires up to 6-1/2 inches wide. You will need to add additional tie-downs like the Erickson # EM05729 to secure the bike into place, as you do not rely on the chock alone to safely support it.
view full answer... - Towing Recommendations with a Toyota PriusWhen I researched the weight of your Vespa LX50 it exceeds the Class 1 hitch tongue weight that would be compatible with a cargo carrier. An alternative would be to tow your Vespa behind your vehicle using a utility trailer. Although Toyota doesn't recommend towing with your vehicle, if you choose to do it anyway here is an option I can offer you since the recommended towing weight on the hitch is higher. I would recommend the Draw-Tite brand hitch # 24847 and drawbar # 3593. We offer...
view full answer... - Wheel Chock for 2003 Honda Shadow Spirit VT1100The Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 is large enough to hold the 110/90r19 tire on your 2003 Honda Shadow. My research shows that your tires are 100 mm wide which is a bit under 4 inches. The Rack'Em # RA-17 will hold tires up to 6-1/2 inches so this will work well for you. You will also need straps like the tie downs # EM05729. Check out the Rack'Em install video to see how this all works together. If you're looking for a wheel chock that comes with a physical lock...
view full answer... - Using E-Track, Tie-Downs, and Wheel Chocks to Haul 2 Harley Davidson MotorcyclesIf I were to haul to Harleys I would make it as safe as possible so a wheel chock would not be a bad idea. Using the E-track is also a good way to go because the track is so versatile. Using a steel plate for support is also the way to go. You have a good grasp on what needs to be done. For a wheel chock, you can use something like # RA-17. It accepts wheels up to 6.5 inches wide. Might I also suggest the motorcycle tie-down assist straps, # 06303. Using these straps on the handle bars...
view full answer... - Wheel Chock Recommendation for Loading 2009 Yamaha TMax Scooter in TrailerThe tallest section of the Maxxtow Chock part (DISCONTINUED) MT70075 measures 12-7/8 inches. The front portion of your fender being 19 inches off the ground would be just fine in that regard. That being said I do believe your rotor would interfere with the side rail of the chock system. A better option would be the part # RA-17 which is much smaller and wouldn't interfere. The tallest portion of the chock is 8-9/16 inches.
