Chock recommendations to bring to track days?

[油井緋色]

Checked bluestreakracing and there's a chock for $305.99. Are cheaper ones okay? If so, what's your recommendation?

Baxley is the best, PA chocks (if you can find them) work pretty good too. I may have a couple of Baxleys up for sale soon. Will keep you posted if you haven't found anything by then.

Royal D or Princess Auto work well and are much cheaper than all the others.

Also check out the place at the bottom of Brock Road in pickering as well ( cant recall name) that they have in stock ..

You ll get one for around $80

Most use paddock stands, is this for at the track or getting to the track? If you decide to run warmers at some point then you will need the stands...

Thanks. Were you at RDT ytd? Saw someone with a blue gixxer very similar to your old one.

I have a set of front stands already. This is for the track so if I'm going alone I don't have to bug someone to put the bike on the rear stand.

Be forewarned that putting a hot sticky tire into a chock usually results in it not wanting to come back out again with relative ease.

I have this one, friend of mine makes them, PM me if you want to buy one. I use it get on and off the bike before and after using the stands but the best use is when you go for tech inspection.

NP and no, it wasn't me.

Why not just learn how to do it yourself? It's not that hard.

Works fine even with sticky SC1.

And especially if you move the bike to the stands once you get off.

Makes me a one man show at track days and I don't have to balance a bike to get a rear stand on it.

In fact, with the bikes where we don't run warmers they just stay parked in the chock.

Mine is like putting on a wheel boot. You need 2 people to get it back out.

op-just a heads up,princess auto carries a blue chock and a black one.The black one is useless .The blue one is the one u want but almost impossible to get as they are always out of stock.The one from kapsco(venom) is probably the best buy as others have already suggested

Got this one from Royal Distributing. I upgraded the "feet" on it to provide better antislip for when you don't line the bike up perfectly when riding into it

This would be the way I'd go if I couldn't put the bike on the rear stand by myself.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'll probably go with ZX600's suggestion once I get my bike sorted out.

When i sold my last race bike the buyer insisted on having that triangle as part of the deal lol.

Pitted across from a guy with a Ducati and the full pitbull set up @ Calabogie this weekend, i watched him struggle after he came off the track trying to put the bike on the stand. Later on in the afternoon he came over and was amazed at how simple and easy the triangle was, starting taking pictures of it.
