We just took ownership of a Toy Hauler. We have a 2020 Tri Glide. I need some help on to wear to place the socks on the front of the trike.

I do not want to screw anything up there in the front of the bike!!!!

Socks?

 

Probably referring to Soft Ties.

 

#1 rule is don't tie down the suspension. Use the links welded on the rear axle and the wheel for the front. Let the suspension work free.

If you can use E-Track on the floor , that works great for tie down and a wheel chock for the front wheel.

 

I have a 16 and an Iconic Toy Hauler. I put the front Ratchet Strap through the Front wheel and stretch it forward to two D rings. Under the rear of your Tri there is a ring on each side (and if there isnt got to the frame lwhere you bolt the Bumper on ) I go from the right side and tie to a d ring on the left and back and from the to d ring on the right. .Put the Tri in first gear and the P brake on. Put the Tri in the Transport mode and you are good to go. I have hauled mine all over the western US and it has never moved.

 

Amazing advice. Hours scouring the net and all i did was ask a question and got the right answers!!!

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

Very nice!!

 

They do make wheel chocks that are "quick mount"; a couple of plates get sunk down level with the floor, and their bolts mount on the frame. The chock has pins that go in the holes and lock forward in place. When not in use, pull back a ways and the chock comes out.

The other thing is to consider that you can brake a lot harder than you can accelerate, and big bumps happen; make things stronger to keep it from moving forward. Then side-to-side. It doesn't take much to keep it from going backwards.

And a possible warning; if you secure the front wheel and pull back really, really hard when anchoring the rear, it stresses the forks, especially the seals. And the triple tree bearings, I imagine, but they're pretty robust. I had a seal blow way too early once (yes, I know the joke), I figure that's what did it. No big deal, I wanted to put in a Progressive monotube anyway, which works great.

 

Thanks. I purchased some socks. Going to load it on Wednesday when I get delivery of the toy hauler. Thanks. It escaped me!
Thanks for the advice!
