I've seen quite a few videos where there in ample room in a trailer. In those videos, the bike straps are pulled straight out on each side of the bike. How do you secure a bike when there isn't room to have the strap come straight out? For example, if you have two full dressers in a 7x 14 foot trailer you might have a foot before you hit the wall. Pictures are always helpful. Also, who makes a ratchet strap that has very short strap material on the ratchet section?

Thanks

 

Best thing I've found is B & W's Biker Bar. http://www.turnoverball.com/products...er-bar-product I've got three I use in my trailer to haul two touring bikes and a trike. I used to use a Condor chock and tie downs but the Biker Bar is much easier to use and as secure as can be.

 

I have had two Electra Glides in a 7x14 trailer. The bikes were stabilized with Condor chalks, and that requires the straps to be pulled forward - not sideways. For added security we also had straps across the rear to stop any bounce that may occur.

 

Check these out, no straps needed!

I have had the lock and load, and now have the biker bar. The biker bar is the best way to go. With the lock and load, you have to slide a long pin through to holes. It takes two people and you have to bolt a bracket on the frame every time. With the biker bar it works like a clamp around the frame and you ride on and it clamps tight. I have used this system for years with no problem. I have hauled my 08 FLHT from Va to Strugis, Myrtle Beach, Daytona & Clearwater to many times to count with no problem. Takes about 5 min to load and unload.

 

Thanks for the comparison.

 

we haul 3 dressers in a 7x14, all have condor chucks, e-track, each bike has 4 tiedowns, all pulling forward towards chucks.

 

Daytonamark,

I need to see how you do that.
