TECH: Build a wheel vise

Thanks for innovation the common man can use. Looking to buy MC wheel chocks for a trailer, are any of the HF ones worth a damn?

The ones you use for a trailer just sort of center the bike, you still have to use ratchet straps. Not sure about the hf ones.

Good mod and awesome garage. One thing is bugging me. you have the front twards the garage door and the back twards the back of the garage. How to you wheel your bike up there? or is there more room behind the lift then it looks in the picture?

lol, its the other way now, when i had it like that, i was gettin ready to rip the whole bike apart, and like the it that way for buildin. durring the summer i keep the ramp right at the garage door, so i can roll right up it. Sucks having a small garage, even if im not workin on my bike i have to park it on the lift.

Ive got the locking wheel chock from HF and its awesome. Got it for 25 bucks with a coupon and havent had any problems in a year or so. I had it mounted to my garage floor before i put it on my work bench.

the original wheel vice to small made me feel like the bike would tip while strapping down this way looks way better

Fuck..., i just took one of those to the scrap yard cuz i thought it was a piece of shit... mine didnt have a wheel chock on it when i got it ( it was given to me ) i think i got 25 bucks for it , for a couple dollars more i could of had a badss lift. Nice job on the how to Bro..... Dont i feel like a dumbass.....

The guys with ghetto wooden lift tables could use one of those wind-a-frame utility jacks to lift the back of the plank they roll the bike up. Just kidding,NOT

Nice fix and good write up! One day I hope to have one of those HF lifts (and a garage to store it in..lol) and I'll keep this in mind. Good post!
