CoMaddMax,
I have transported my Street Glide, my buddies Ultra and my wife's Fatboy many times, not all at once, just two at a time, my easily thousands of miles, and only had the Fatboy slip once. What I do, like you were thinking, took the feet of the chocks, but I just place it on the floor and ride the bike in, then before I strap it down, I put a 4x6 and 5/4 board on top of it under the frame of the bike. Then I pull the front down just tight enough so the frame comes down on the blocks and I cant kick them out. Then I put a strap through the back wheel to two D-rings in the back and put just enough tension that its pulling it back. For the Fatboy, since it has solid wheels, I tie out from each swing arm to the D-ring. So I have the front pulling down and slightly forward, the frame is solid on the blocks so the suspension isn't bottomed out and the back is being pulled back.
But I am looking at the Biker Bars just for ease and time saving.
