Not sure if any one has used the bike pro or not, but in order to get my bike out of the chok, I have to use the reverse gear, its holds it in remarkably tight. I am 220lbs and 6' tall and can't get the bike out with my power. The straps are snug, not tight to the point of compressing the forks or rear shocks. Really a nice system.
I did look at the biker bar at the motorcycle show 2 weeks ago in Edmonton. Cool looking setup if I do say so myself, don't think it works with a GoldWing because of the exhaust and oil pan configuration in relation to the frame rails. Much different than a Harley-Davidson or similar style of bike.

The Lock n Load is a great tie down system as well - used it with great success. Only issue is the OP wanted minimal footprint when removed. Lock and Load leaves a larger but very low plate on the floor. Based on his needs I would recommend the Condor as well. I used it and it was a great chock - but I still think the Lock n Load ratcheting tie downs are second to none.

Thinking of a Condor wheel chock, but at a loss on how to flush mount it. Also, how hard is it to remove the pan from under the unit to get to the tanks and sub-floor? Not real handy. Something an idiot can do or should I take it in?
Thanks,

Rusty, did you get your questions answered? I use a product from Cycle Gear called "trackside". it's a roll-on, roll-off chock. very similar to the condor, but I have not permanently mounted it in the garage (although it can be). I didn't want to go thru the drilling, and fighting tanks for that model. I use ratchet tie-downs to the d-rings, and my beemer and the wife's yamaha scooter will both stand on their own, as soon as i ride into the cradle. I then use ties on handle bars and rear for support. only $75 each.

Condor It Is
Thanks for the input. Ordered the Condor. Going to see if there is some way to strap the Condor to the floor without drilling. If that doesn't work, I'll bite the bullet and drop the pan and tanks and drill and mount a plate and use " quick release pins" like are on the hoods of cars, to hold it in place. Again, thanks for the help.
PS Still waiting for delivery on my Voltage!

Take this for what it's worth... but... if you mount your Condor plate in the same place as I did (as shown in photo #8), there is nothing below the garage floor in that area.
I didn't want to drop the bottom insulation, so I simply measured & drilled two ⅜" holes in the floor, and then inserted two ½" lag screws to secure the plate to the floor.
So far (almost 2 years now) it has held firm with no problems. If I ever want to remove the plate, all I have to do is unscrew the lags.

You guys have a bottom cover under your garage? I have the V-series 3005 and the sealed bottom stops at the garage.

While I haven't taken delivery yet, I'm almost positive there is a pan/cover under the garage as well on the 2015 Voltage 3990.

Another way they saved us some $ on our V-series.
