I have a 7'x14' enclosed Golden Gate trailer that I am going to be hauling my SGS into if needed. It doesn't have anything in it installed hardware wise to attach the straps to, just bare wood floors and walls. What do you guys have in your trailers to strap your Harley down? I was looking at the E-tracks or just regular tie down anchors, but with the anchors i am going to have to drill holes into the floor for them to sit. I also do not want them to pull out of the floor and let the bike fall. Whats your guys opinions. Oh and I will have a wheel chock for the front.

 

Good move on the wheel chock and as far as the other supports I would use big washers on the underside or better yet make your own out of 4X4 steel plates. Best of luck!!!

 

I had just recently heard of this. A bit pricier option but I like the idea. http://www.turnoverball.com/products...er-bar-product

 

I e-tracked my trailer and also installed a Condor wheel chock. Worked great for my Fatboy and wife's superglide.

 

I have a Smart Chock in my trailer and it along with the tie-down rings are anchored to the floor with steel plates underneath the floor. I have traveled extensively with various bikes inside and never had a problem. I watched a youtube video today on the BW Biker Bar. Check it out! If I had known about it beforehand I probably would have gone with that setup. Harley has some good ratchet style tiedown straps.

Go and get some 1/4" steel plate cut into four 4"x 8" rectangles, two for the top of the floor and two for the bottom under the trailer and have them drilled or machined to accept the tie down bracketry. Then install them in/under your trailer about five feet apart where you want to put your bike. Use some silicone caulking on the underside steel as a gasket to help keep the moisture away from the wood floor where you install the plates. You can use the same idea to install a wheel chock if that's the way you want to go.

 

Another thought, and you can call me **** if you want but this is something I do if I have to trailer my bike. I put two eyebolts into the floor on each side of the bike. Using two separate soft straps on each side of the bars, I use two ratchet straps on each side of the front of the bike. In the event that a strap or eyebolt somehow fail, I want to be covered instead of chancing any damage to my bike. Just a couple extra bucks and a extra 5 minutes you just might not regret sometime.

 

Biker Bar says "your bike becomes an extension of the trailers suspension" Translates to "shakes the **** out of your bike".

 

I'm thinking I may buy a used trailer to have if or when needed. Considering the "Lock N Load" rigging. Looking at the BK 1000 model. I'm thinking it may be enough. If anyone has any comments on them I'd welcome the feedback.

 

Don't think I have ever done this before but hate when I stutter...
