RE: For those that have/use a trailer.
Ditto on the aluminum trailers. I own a Triton 6X12 and swear by it. http://www.tritontrailers.com/models1.asp?ModelID=67My wife can attach it to the truck by herself. Very lightweight and easy to move around. I installed 2 quick-realease pingel chocks and bought the tie down points that mount inside the trailer channels. I think we paid about $2500 all together, but I don't remember. The wife got it when I was deployed last year.

Trailers are expensive. You can get something nice in a close in for 3500 or used 2500. My wife keeps bugging me to get one, not sure if I would get my use out of it. Better off buying used or get someone to go halves with me.

I have a 5 X 8 enclosed Interstate motorcyle trailor. I put my heritage in it one time. the rest of the time I use it for hauling camping gear. My wife has a Xterra, I have a TDI Jetta for snowy days, but it is very light i mouve it up hill by myself.

rsofa, sorry about "the in reply". I cut and pasted your question and added some more.
What I did today was I wrapped thenylonstaps (the things that have a loop at both ends) around the frame and the crash bar (1 on each side) and used ratchet straps to attach it to the D rings in the floor. I also strapped the rear on both sides using the above describe configuration but attached it to the stems of the passenger foot pegs. I use a Condor Chock for the front wheel. It works well but after seeing the Robertsprod. I may be buying 1 of them. That look pretty stable. My biggest fear is my 08 FLHX falling over inthe trailer.
