Can anyone recommend a supplier in Aus of the front wheel chocks?
I'm going to be trailering the bike and would rather use these instead of tie downs if possible.
Can find a few suppliers in the states but cant seem to find any here.
Any ideas?

when you go to buy your tie down straps, buy gorilla grips.. they are awesome.. best straps i've bought... about $45~ish

Have to agree with xhiler8r. Used a Tyre Down to transport my Daytona 4200km, no problems. Just dont be scared to really rachet down on the back tyre. Other than that I fitted a 'U' shaped channel to the front of the trailer, and strapped the front tyre in. No fear of doing fork seals or rub marks Pi_thumbsup

Good videos here.

Thanks for the replys , Its going to be in the trailer for a while thats exactly why i did'nt want to strap the front down (fork seals).
So these tyre downs will keep the bike upright as long as you have a bit of channel up front to support it????????

Thanks,
Dave.

Yep. If you have a front and lower channel to roll the front wheel into, the strap on the rear pulls the bike down and slightly forward. Then I placed 2 holes for eye bolts at the back for the ratchets. When in the trailer on the road, it just works on its own suspension.

If you want a few pics, let me know.

I have done nearly a 100,000k's with the bikes tied down this way and never had a problem.
