So I guess we'll let OCD time slide since we have no frame of reference for it out here.

It's been discussed here before. I trailer my bike alot and since I have had my front forks resprung and revalved I'm more concerned with keeping the seals in tact. I never have liked the "block of wood" for a fork block and I ran acrossed these. I ordered one and to my pleasure it is one of the nicest pieces I have ever come acrossed for the money. It is billett aluminum, has clips for the front forks to keep it in place and works really well.

Some may think that it is pricey, but afterI got it and saw the quality I thought that it was a steal!

i thought it was funny how it states it won't fit the husky's 450 forks- those suckers are just too big in diameter. those damn bikes are so overbuilt it's not funny.

i guess i don't see the point. it does the same thing as a block of wood but has pointy edges against the tire and plastic fender. only difference i see is it has clips keeping it in place when trying to tie it down. to me it looks like just one more thing thatpotentially wouldn't releasewhen trying to remove. deej's idea is better imo, smooth edges and no poking into tire or fender.

But I'll try........
There are no "pointy" edges. The piece is about 5/8" thick and contoured to fit the curvature of the tire.
The other end fits perfectly where the fender mounting bolts are and doesn't put wny stress on the plastic.
The clips snap on and off effortlessly.
And it is truely a beautiful, functional piece. (But only a select few of us can appreciate the beauty of fine machined billet aluminum.)
I must admit that one of my biggest faults is that I will pay extra for top quality. I guess that its my own OCD issue. But one of my highest priorities is taking care of my bikes. There are those who think that I'm stupid for useing nothing but Baxley chocks when I haul my bikes. (they are probably the most expensive around) http://www.baxleycompanies.com/LAChock.html But they secure the bike faster and better than any Condor ever thought of.
So if you don't see the point, I understand. You have my sympathy.

RE: Tie down fork block
nah, it's cool. to each his own. the main thing is the bike gets to the destination in one piece, i'm a little old school when it comes to dirt bikes. wow, and i'm only 35. i use to go to mx races in the 70's as a youngster watching my uncle and a lot reflected back onto me i think.
anyone remember the old elsinores and kx 400's with the pipe that went alongside the rear wheel and swingarm? but man did that thing run hard.

Have you ever heard the phrase "If you have to ask why, you simply wouldn't understand"? Well this is one of those situations.
