Using E-Track, Tie-Downs, and Wheel Chocks to Haul 2 Harley Davidson Motorcycles
Question:
Plan to haul 2 Harley Ultra Classic. I was thinking of putting 10 ft down middle of trailer and also along each side. Also 1/8inch steel plate under 3/4inch plywood floor. Use 2inch x 6inch strap w/ D-ring and ratchet. Is a wheel chock also necessary? Do you think this is sufficient or over kill

Expert Reply:
If I were to haul to Harleys I would make it as safe as possible so a wheel chock would not be a bad idea. Using the E-track is also a good way to go because the track is so versatile. Using a steel plate for support is also the way to go. You have a good grasp on what needs to be done.
For a wheel chock, you can use something like # RA-17. It accepts wheels up to 6.5 inches wide. Might I also suggest the motorcycle tie-down assist straps, # 06303. Using these straps on the handle bars makes securing the bikes with straps much easier. I have included some links to some video reviews for you.
