Lashing bike on trailer--straight up or on sidestand?

Park it in a wheel chock, with kickstand up. Buy two Harley soft straps, put the front lower forks in a choke hold, rachet strap to the floor. Put a rachet strap on both rear floor board brackets, and rachet the staps towards the front wheel chock. You can flip the trailer over and the bike will stay on.

+1. I also put a 6X6 under frame and pull the bike down solid against it. keeps everything locked down tight.

Great idea , thanks I didn't like compressing the suspension on my Dyna so I straped to the bottom of the rear shocks and to the bottom of the front also. Some really rough roads coming back from Daytona in N.Y. and the bike stayed nicely in place . I didn't know how I was going to do this on my RK until I read this post. Great ideas at work here ...Thanks again.

The 6 by 6 block is a god idea because compressing the shocks is not good.
On the otherhand, uncompressed shocks is not good because the bike will "bounce" with every bump the truck hits during the trip. May as well have driven the bike the distance as the shocks will get the same wear and tear.
