Just loaded the bike in the trailer for a trial run. Tied it down the way I have it in the pics on the op. Also tied it down at the passenger floor board mounts. Seemed very solid. When trying to rock the bike it rocked the trailer also.
Going to try and tie it down a little higher also. Where the tank mounts.

tie points
I Have an Ultra as well and put these on for tie points- and have trailered it many times. Really easy to tie it down with them, takes me 2 minutes. (I Have the plain ones)

Just set up my harbor freight chock. Had to modify things a little as my trailer has a ramp built in the floor. So the floor is not all on the same level. I mounted the chock to a board so I can use it in the trailer and in the garage. I had to put a hinge in the board under the rear wheel as that is where the floor changes levels(see pic). I also moved the chock all the way forward in the frame work and then moved the pivot piece forward 4 1/4 "(see pic). All is good with chock easy to get in and out of.
My question is on the down tube of the bike frame there is a piece welded between the 2 tubes. Why can't a soft tie be put around the frame just above this to tie the front end down(see pic)? This looks to be a good place and the tie downs in the floor are in alignment with this point. I have looked at others approach at tying their bike down and some suggest around the fork tube just above the fender bolts. Others suggest the triple tree, there is no way to tie up there on my bike.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this for me.

I don't know about all that chock, tie down stuff, but you have the cleanest wheels I've seen in a while.
