Expert Answers about Harley Davidson Motorcycle Tie Down Straps
- E-Track and Parts Needed For Securing Motorcycles In a Enclosed Trailer
- Yes, you can place the etrailer Horizontal E-Track # e25VR across your trailer from side to side. This will allow you to use the CargoSmart Motorcycle Wheel Chock # 3481731 making it easier and safer to secure your bikes in your trailer. Be sure to use the etrailer E-Track Backing Plates w/ Hardware # e46RR to secure each of the 5' tracks in place. Each of these kits includes 3 brackets for each track.
I recommend using the Erickson E-Track Tie Down Rings # 59131 and Cam Tie-Downs # EM05729...

- You will want a bow/stern tie-down for each kayak so the Yakima Bow/Stern Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops # Y04031 will cover the other two kayaks. You may also want the # Y07416 to go with them.
I reached out to Yakima about the additional cinch straps and they said it all depends on the size of the kayaks. They said if they're too wide additional straps # Y05006 are necessary and said it would be best to get the straps just in case since you will regularly carry three. They...

- Thanks for reaching out, Barry!
The 833 lbs WLL rating for the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893 is per strap, so together you're looking at 1,666 lbs.
view full answer... - Where Should I Mount D-Ring Tie Down Points In Relation To The Front And Rear Of The Tire?
- Hey Dwayne that is a great question. Generally, we would want the tie down points to be in line with the front and rear of the tire. So the # EM58522 straps would hang straight down and connect to the # RR05 D-ring. You can also angle them forward if needed. It really depends on the trailer, the tire and how much space you have to work with.
There really is no rule of thumb for how far away the tie down point can be, so if you have to go a foot away from the tire you definitely can. I...
view full answer... - Can Cable Lock be Used Instead of Cam Strap to Tie Down Gear
- Hey Albert; I suppose you can technically use the Cable Lock # 8428DPS as a way to tie down gear, but I wouldn't recommend it and it doesn't have any type of load rating as it's not meant for that specific application.
To be on the safe side I would definitely stick with cam straps like the 8-3/16' long Rhino-Rack Cam Buckle Cinch Straps # RRRTD25L or 11-1/2' Long # RRRTD35L.

- I took a look at some photos of the crossbars on your 2019 Toyota 4Runner, and you weren't kidding when you said there wasn't much clearance. Thankfully, there is exactly one J-style kayak carrier that lack of clearance won't be a problem for, and that's called the Kuat V2, is available in either black or gray:
- Black: Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # KU53VR
- Gray: Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # KU33VR
The reason this will work with such limited clearance...

- Hey Albert,
The BoatBuckle Personal Watercraft Cam Buckle Tri-Down Strap w Soft Hook # IMF14218 has 8' of length for the second hook to work with to properly secure your WaveRunner. This has a 400lb safe working weight limit so it should be a good fit along with a bow tie-down for your 700-ish lb WaveRunner.

- Hey Matthew, thanks for reaching out!
The Titan Chain Ratchet Tie-Down Strap with Flat Hooks # TCLR22021-1 measures 19" from the end of the hook to the pin in the ratchet part.
None of our other ratchet kits will have anything much different than that unfortunately.
view full answer... - How to Carry 4 Kayaks on a TracRac Ladder Rack
- Because the TracRac ladder rack crossbars are so large there are no kayak carriers that will fit them. You would have to rest the kayaks on the bars and use load stops such as # TA44700 to help hold them up. Then you would use some straps such as # RTD3 to secure them to the bars. And you would tie off the bows and sterns using a tie down set such as # Y04031.
view full answer... - Availability of CargoBuckle Without Ladder Rack Bracket
- A CargoBuckle strap like the # IMF18816 you got is only available with the ladder rack mounting bracket. They don't offer it separately or as a replacement without the bracket. If you want more of the same without the bracket the only option would be to get another set of the # IMF18816 and pull the bracket off.
If you don't mind a different hook style the CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Straps # IMF18800 don't come with a bracket they just bolt on. The straps are 2" x 6'...

- So your 2015 Jayco Precept 29UM is on a Ford F-53 18K chassis which is the limiting factor with a towing capacity of 5,000lbs. I believe this is the restriction you are having. The Curt Receiver # C14048 you found while having a higher rating will not increase your towing capacity.
If you can find a lighter trailer or vehicle to tow you can install a Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV with the Wiring Adapter # C51322 which will connect under your dash.

- While there aren't any cargo carriers that would fit two mobility scooters or even be able to handle the weight of two, you do still have the option of using a trailer like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer # K2MMT4X6. The loading gate isn't the best for a mobility scooter so I recommend getting some loading ramps # 288-07474-2 as well. You can use some tie-down straps like # EM04418 to secure your scooters to the trailer.

- Hey Paul, I don't see why you couldn't run the kayak carrier straps above or below the Thule Arcos part # TH25YE that you referenced. I would probably go with above the box but there's no reason you couldn't also below it. The strap wouldn't put a significant enough amount of pressure on the box to harm it.

- Hey William,
If your 2018 Chevy Equinox has rails that run from front to back then I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 and TimberLine Towers # Y33TR.
If you have a naked roof then you'll need the following roof rack components:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK488
