I have the condor wheel chock in my enclosed trailer and my toy hauler. I love them. I have 2 and have the brackets mounted and easy to change out. I would use a chock, you can find them cheap and will do the same job as the more expensive ones. good luck with your trip.

 

I would'nt advise it___chocks are cheap compared to damaged caused by a failed strap(and they do fail)you'd be surprised how much a trailer will bounce around on the road and i speak from a 2500$ experiance

 

Just trailered for the first time also.900 miles each way. Bought this HF chock. Usually on sale for 59 bucks. Worked real well, cant see what the more expensive one will do that this one won't. A little paranoid so on each side of the bike, put two eye bolts throught the floor, two soft straps on each side and total of 4 rachet straps on the front end.

placed 2 x 4 pieces of wood on each side of the rear tire and screewed them to the floor. Had two Ultras on the trailer, pretty close and they rode great, didn't move an inch

 

Use a chock. Lots cheaper than repainting your fairing!

 

I've done two trips with a trailer of 2,000 miles each. I would not trailer without a chock but have done it with a bike in the back of the truck.

Harbor Freight has three types of chocks. The one for $39 is very good. I use it on my open trailer and hauled a 900 lb bike for 1,500 miles with no problem.

For my enclosed trailer I use the Condor Chocks which are fantastic. For my truck I just bought the HF knock off of the Condor but I have not installed or tried it yet.

 

all good advice. my 2 cents is never use ratchet type straps unless they be the wide yellow ones. the ratchets will fail. I use tha cam type, they can't fail. if you trailer a lot, buy 'em new each year as that be cheap insurance. compress front suspension all the way and use handlebar straps such as is used in bike repair shops

 

Bull, this is a really bad idea. Twice in my life I have experienced other folks who tied their bikes to the side and floor of an enclosed trailer and had the bike kick out on them. You may want to take the chance on that not happening to you but I don't and when I do strap the bike in the front tire is chalked and the rear tire is also chalked so it can not move laterally. I also suck that suspension down as tight as I can get it and never leave the bike on the easy stand.
