Ok guys I am going to sturgis in a couple of weeks with a friend. we are taking his rv . Any hints or suggestions for trailering and tieing the bike down..Thanks

 

With my 11 Tri i run a strap though the front wheel.. And one strap on each side of the tie-down loops under the rear axel.

 

Get the tiedowns from Harley for the front and use the 2 loops under the rear of the bike. I took a side car and a trike to NC. On a car hauler.

 

As stated above, I strap through the front wheel forward into a wheel chock, Then through the rear wheels with axle straps and cross tie down straps pulling rearward so back end can not jump left or right. I also strap to the tie down loops pulling forward.

 

I just sold my Aluma MC10 trailer and bought a Aluma TK1 trailer. I won't be loading it or trying it until next week, but it has tie down hooks for securing around rear axle plus hooks toward the front of the trike.


I am thinking I will ratchet it onto the trailer about like my Ultra, except I will be using hooks on back axle as part of equation.

 

I have been using the Biker Bar trailering system for 6 years now, both with my RGC CVO and now with my RGC Trike.

Over 15K miles towing (grand kids on both coast) and never one issue

No straps, 3 minutes to loan and 3 minutes to unload

I would not trailer without it, any other way is just too much work

 

Be interested on how you like the new trailer. Been looking at one myself.

 

As you know steel trailers down here don't last long. My Aluma MC10 was a 2014 but this Aluma TK is built much heavier and looks better, but it only weighs a little more.


I found a new 2016 at Tropic Trailer (Ft. Myers) and they came off the "sticker" price a little bit. Sold my 2014 on Craig's List. I did a search and couldn't find a used one within a couple hundred miles. I pulled the other one around 3,000 miles and never knew it was back there, they pull really good with 14" wheels and torsion axles.

 

Be sure and put it in "Transport Mode" See page 102 of your manual or you may get there with a dead battery.

 

I know that's right
