I've never understood why Bax doesn't sell a kitl like that...
I've actually redrilled one of their plates and added a quick pin for just that purpose...

Re: Baxley Chocks - mounting question
I've been using the Baxley LA Sport Chock for two years in the back of my pick-up. Never bolted it down, or mounted it in anyway. Tension from tiedowns is more than adequate to keep it in place. Aslo, I use soft straps to the motor mounts to the forward D rings, so very little compression of the front forks, and no attachment to the clip-ons which can screw up the grips.

Some guys like them pinned or bolted in the trailer while it's being hauled empty though...

And when I'm away from my truck/trailer out on the trail or track, I'd like for there to be a bit of a deterrent from theft.

You don't think the duct tape is enough of a deterrent...

Just get some old bubble-gum. Once that stuff hardens it'll be there forever.
In fact, I think I still have some on one of my shoes.

Can you reconstitute it and ship it to me for a nominal fee?

No problem, I'll send it US Postal.

In fact, I think I'll stick it to his windshield.

Re: Baxley Chocks - mounting question
I recently got me a Sport Chock and I figured I could mount it with a trip to the hardware store...then I just ordered the mounting kit along with the chock.

Too busy or too lazy to mess with it.

That's the method I use, but with only one tiedown pulling towards the front. I loop it around the lower triple clamp to keep the bike from swaying side to side. Tacoma composite bed floors have a lot of flex in them!
