Default Bike measurement

Hi all,
I just got an enclosed trailer to haul my trike and when I dropped my trike off at the shop I did not measure the distance from the front wheel back to the clutch inspection
plate. The shop is 47 miles from my house and closed Mondays. Can some one with a 2003 or similar Ultra classic do the measurement on your bike so I can install the
front wheel chock in my trailer?
Thanks.
Jeff

Why don't you just mount the chock as far forward as you can. You need to keep most weight forward in the trailer to keep it from weaving and whipping around while in motion.

Clutch inspection plate? Never heard of her...lol. I gather you mean the derby cover? Just razzin'.

Either way, I'm with the other guys in thinking you'll want the chock all the way up (some assumptions taken). Then again, why a chock at all? It's a trike, it ain't falling over. Just find where you like it in the trailer and mark the floor so it gets parked in the right spot.

Got the measurements, 54" from front tire to middle of Derby Cover(Clutch Insp Plate), 57" to rear of DC, and 60" end of Primary cover.

Top one is the original color, and the other two is the new paint job with GM Blue Ray Metallic to match my Silverado. Needed to be done because a Medium size buck ran into me cracking the tub and right fender. Now truck, trike, and trailer near match paint color.
