I like the self tightening straps that come with it.

Not a big can of the wheel chock but I do like the self tightening ratchet straps he uses.

The quick connect can be mounted at the very front of the trailer. With a 5x9 trailer I can still get sheets of 4x8 plywood to ride flat.

Oh just to keep this in the EVO forum, it'll hold my 1993 FLHS:

I think the best would be a combination of this roll on wheel chock with the self tightening straps.

I first thought he might have found something that attached to the bike to make it easier????

You need a trailer that kinda matches the look of your bike.....


I FOUND IT!

Those are for newer bikes not EVO's. Don't know if they'd fit. And kind of pricey to experiment on.

Default EVO trailer project

Going to revive this thread, as I've completed the work on the trailer to haul my EVO FLHS (and my son's FLHT-twin cam) around in.

Here's the bare frame:





And the 10' plywood:



Needed to weld some additional plates unto the frame (both sides and floor) so the plywood laid flat and had more area to bolt through:





Drilling and Fitting:



I used special carriage bolt washers that I counter sunk into the plywood using a Forstner bit:



More Pics:

Two of the six recessed D-Rings I installed



'Aiming ramp' for the Harley:






WheelDock system installation:





I opted for the optional mount so the WheelDock can be installed and removed by only pulling a pin:




Took it all apart and sealed it up using Aluthane:





Reassembled:





I'll post up pics of the interior next week that has recently been Line-X coated.

My FLHS fits nicely in it, and thanks to the suggestions I got earlier in the thread, it is easy to load/unload with the WheelDock system.
