For $50 it might be worth trying.

They make good stuff sometimes.  I bought their front motorcycle wheel chock, which locks the front wheel and it works beautifully.  You just need to adjust the cup for the size of your wheel and drop it it.  I can roll a bike into it and I don't need a rear stand.

it's not as good as a yoke support for working on the front end, but it sure holds it fine.

thats actually pretty nice
i have a HF store like 3 miles from me, and i like to stop by there from time to time, so cheap (and stuff seems to hold up fine)

looks good for 50, .... does it have wheels on the front?  If not it might be a bit grindy and will push the bike as it goes on to the stand ... and unbalanced for that moment more so that other stands; if someone purchases let us know.
