Expert Answers about Chevrolet Motorcycle Tie Down Straps


  • Can Extang CargoCleats Truck Bed Tie-Down Anchors EX1932, Hold Motorcycles in a Truck Bed
  • Our contacts at Extang tell us that the CargoCleats Truck Bed Tie-Down Anchors, part # EX1932, has a capacity of 500 lbs. Based on this information they will be able to hold a motorcycle with no problem. A strap can be tied to or hooked onto these anchor points so they should work well. You may also be interested in the Tie-Down motorcycle assist straps # 06303 so you do not have to use a hook or other strap that could damage the bike.

  • Motor Scooter Carrier Work with a 2005 Yamaha Vino 125 Scooter
  • Yes, the motorcycle carriers should work but with the 10 inch wheel and tire combination on your Vino, you may have to do a bit of adjustment for the wheels to fit between the rungs of the carrier properly. I checked the specs of the Vino and it weighs 166 pounds dry weight, so it would weigh about 200 pounds overall. It is 66 inches long overall so you should be able to use the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier, part # UF48-979033, with no problems. A set of Motorcycle Tie-Down Assist Straps,...

  • Self-Retracting Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps
  • Yes, we do have self-retracting ratcheting tie-down straps. The CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Straps w/ S-Hooks # IMF18800-86 are 2" wide x 6' long and have a working load limit of 833 lbs. The weight of your motorcycle must not exceed the combined working load limit of the straps so these would work if your bike was no more than 833 lbs.

  • Can a BMW R1200RT Motorcycle be Carried on DK2 5x7 Utility Trailer Using a Wheel Chock and Straps
  • Yes you could mount a chock such as Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock # RA-17 to the deck of the K2 trailer # K2MMT5X7 and then use it to transport your BMW motorcycle. I do recommend getting a steel sheet up to 1/8 inch thick to use as a backing plate to disperse the force applied to the chock over a larger area. It would go on the under side of the deck. The Rack'Em chock will work for tires up to 6-1/2 inches wide. For tie downs ShockStrap has a set of 4 straps specifically...

  • Can CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Strap Pull In at an Angle
  • CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Strap # IMF18804 is going to behave like just about any ratchet strap. This means that if the strap is coming in at an angle the strap could fold over on itself. A slight angle may not be a problem but the higher the angle degree the more likely it will fold over. You may be interested in a the motorcycle assist straps, # 06303. These will allow you to secure a strap to the handle bars while avoiding damage that could occur from a coated hook...

  • Will 5-Inch Wide Tire Fit CargoSmart E-Track Motorcycle Wheel Chock 3481731
  • CargoSmart Motorcycle Wheel Chock # 3481731 will accept tires up to 7-inches wide but if you refer to the linked photo you'll see that the chock's wheel hoop has a slight taper. 1-inch from the hoop's apex the inside width is approximately 5-1/2-inches, perfect for your tire; 2-inches from the apex it is 6-1/2-inches and all the way out at the opening this width is 8-inches. Since you'll be using some type of tie-down straps to help secure the motorcycle anyway, items such as E-Track parts...

  • What Motorcycle Frame Tube and Frame Width Do the B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System Fit
  • The B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down Systems we carry are only designed to fit certain models of Harley-Davidson and have not been tested for other bikes like your Kawasaki Vulcans. It is possible they can work with your bikes if they have double tubes but you will need to know a couple of dimensions, the frame tube diameters and the frame width.

  • Will the Motorcycle Wheel Chock Work with the Front Tire on a 2006 Harley Sportster 883
  • Yes, the Tow-Rax Removable Wheel Chock, item # TWSPWM, will work for both your 2006 Harley Sportster 883, and your 2009 Honda Rebel. You will need to make sure that the bikes are secured with tie downs and the wheel chock will keep the bike from tipping or tilting to either side while being hauled. When you tie the bikes down make sure and put pressure forward into the front of the wheel chock. I would recommend using the 5K Trailer Axle Strap with Rings, item # 58506, and at least 4 of...

  • Can a Honda Shadow Spirit 750 be Carried on an etrailer Motorcycle Carrier
  • I would not attempt to carry a 2002 Shadow Spirit 750 on the etrailer motorcycle carrier, item # e98873. Your best bet for transporting your motorcycle would be a small trailer equipped with a wheel chock like part # RA-17. There are simply too many variables with a street bike that size, and you may have trouble with the spare tire on the Jeep. Other items you may need are the Motorcycle Assist Straps, item # 06303, and the Soft Tie Motorcycle and ATV Tie Downs, item # EM05729.

  • The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier for 2 inch Hitch Receiver, item # e98873, will work in a front mount hitch as long as the weight of the motorcycle and the weight of the carrier (58 pounds) will not exceed the capacity of the front mounted hitch or the vehicle frame.

  • Can I Use the Curt Hitch # C13701 to Transport a Motorcycle on a Travel Trailer?
  • You will be able to use the Curt Hitch # C13701 as long as the combined weight of your motorcycle and the carrier are less than 500 pounds. Also, it is important to note that you should not exceed the weight capacity of your trailer. For this reason, I recommend making sure that your trailer can handle the amount of weight you wish to transport. Also, you need to make sure that your motorcycle carrier is rated for RV/travel trailer use. If you need a great carrier, I recommend the etrailer...

  • Wheel Chock Recommendation for 2013 Honda Elite Scooter
  • Based on my research your 2013 Honda Elite scooter has a 90/90-12 front tire, which measures 3.5 inches wide and 18.4 inches in diameter. For a tire this size I recommend the Rack'Em Manufacturing Removable Wheel Chock Item # RA-17 to stabilize your scooter. It works for tires up to 6.5-inches, so this will be a great fit for you. The MaxxTow simply bolts on where you want to install it, but the hardware is not included to install. I attached a helpful installation video for you to check...

  • Will 150 Series Motorcycle Tire Fit the CE Smith Trailer Motorcycle Rail # CE26110PG
  • Given that a 150 series motorcycle tire is 150 millimeters or about 6 inches wide, it will certainly fit in the CE Smith # CE26110PG Motorcycle Rail with room to spare. CE Smith also offers a loading ramp you might be interested in, part # CE26151PG. If you needed tie-downs, you can use the Erickson # EM05729 with the # 06303 assist straps.

  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75560 will allow you to carry your 300lb motorcycle with your 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon. The receiver is rated for a maximum tongue weight of 400lbs and a maximum trailer weight of 4,000lbs. Be sure to verify the towing capacity with a Subaru dealer as your exact trim and options may vary the numbers. I recommend using a etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007 to secure and remove excess play in the receiver on the Ultra-Fab...

  • Use of a Hitch Extender with a Motorcycle Carrier
  • The hitch extender part # BX88265 will work but it will be close to exceeding the weight capacity of the hitch. You are correct, the tongue weight capacity of the extender is 1,000 lbs but you have to go by the capacity of the weakest component of your setup. It is a good idea to check the vehicle's towing capacity as well. The weakest component in your situation is the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on the vehicle so with the use of an extender your tongue weight is 337 lbs. All...

  • Will the the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch # 306-X7345 Work with My 2018 Honda CR-V?
  • Yes - if you are looking for a hitch that can withstand a maximum of 300 pounds of tongue weight on your 2018 Honda CR-V, then the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7345 is a great option. The EcoHitch has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 525 pounds. However, with that being said, it is important to make sure that the tongue weight rating on your vehicle can accommodate that much weight. I recommend consulting your owner's manual for this rating. If you need a recommendation...

  • Will a 2004 Vespa ET2 Fit on a Motorcycle Carrier on a 1996 Toyota Tacoma With a 2 Inch Hitch
  • Yes, the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier, # UF48-979033, will hold your 2004 Vespa ET2 on your 1996 Toyota Tacoma with a 2 inch hitch. I did some research on your scooter and it has a dry weight of 216 lbs and a wheel width of just under 5 inches, so it would fit the dimensions and capacity of the motorcycle carrier. I would also recommend using a set of Motorcycle Tie-Down Straps, # EM05710, to secure your scooter to the bike rack.
