Options for Securing Motorcyle to Trailer
Question:
really like your site. Just bought a couple of things, but now Im needing a bit of help. I just bought a 2010 toyota rav4 and they put a hitch on it... rated to 3500lbs. The tongue weight is only 350lbs so I cant get a motorcycIe cargo hitch carrier. So I thought Id get a small open flatbed trailer with wood, but want to be able to haul my 2008 yamaha wr250r securely onto it. PLEASE keep me out of trouble and tell me exactly what I should order from you to secure it to the trailer appropriately. Dont have trailer yet so dont know about tie downs...THANKS.

Expert Reply:
The Removable Motorcycle Wheel Chock, part # TWSPWM would be an excellent choice for securing the motorcycle to the trailer. The Wheel Chock includes mounting hardware appropriate for a wood trailer floor.
Using something like the Motorcycle Assist Straps, part # 06303 along with ratchet straps like part # 34413 would work well for you.
