I have the Bike-Pro bike chock for my Ultra in an enclosed 7X14 Featherlight trailer. http://www.discountramps.com/bike-pro-wheel-chock.htm Just drive onto it and it locks. It is removable, allowing me to use the trailer for other things.Use four HD ratchet tie downs with the hog ties on the front frame across the crash bars, and the rear passenger foot rest supports. Also have fold down tie downs, again so I can use the trailer for other things. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...70_13208_13208

Check out this info on securing your bike to your trailer. http://www.chariot-trailer.com/index...d=15&Itemid=43

Hope this helps.

Steve

I went with the simple trailer chock. The Pit Stop is good if your planning to use it as a stand when not mounted in the trailer. I like these chocks and have had no problems. Good Luck!

SteveO That looks like a great mount for a trailer. I'm just wondering if the solid mount to the frame does and damage with the pounding of the trailer. When mounted the other way your shocks can give slightly.

Bike Pro Chock. Wal-Mart Heavy Duty straps to the engine guards and passenger floorboards. Over 4000 trouble free miles in my toy hauler. ALL nylon straps need to be checked and tightened every couple hundred miles or so and after negotiating a particularly rough road.
