    Default Trailering a Trike

    Just wondering how I am going to have to reset all my chocks in
    my trailer after Lynn gets hers. Where as you not have to worry
    about a trike falling over, do you need to chock the front wheel ?
    Couldn't you use soft ties around each side of the rear axle and
    pull backwards to hold it from going forward and then use a
    soft tie around front wheel and pull forward to keep it from
    going backward ?
    What I was thinking of doing was to set it up so the TG front
    wheel will be all the way up in the V-nose then have a
    staggered setup for the other two chocks. Almost like I have
    it now but I think I will have to push back the two rearward
    chocks more to adjust for the length of the TG and put the
    chock in the front (by the V) so it goes straight back and
    not slanted as it is now.

    Rob... the trike's back end will bounce and move from side to side so be sure, if you soft tie the rearend to stagger the left side to the right hook and the right side to the left hook or it will walk.

    Rob, is that a 16 ft trailer? For our Sturgis trip, we put my trike in the front V. I put one strap around the frame above the crash bar and one each on the rear wheels to each side.
    With the trike secured, we placed the next rack about 6 inches behind my fender on the left side of the trailer. We secured my son-in-laws Deuce.
    The last mount was placed about 8 inches further back on the right side so the handlebars would not meet.
    We secured the Heritage and Deuce with straps from the handlebars to the orings in the floor.
    We had 12 inches from the Heritage rear fender and the ramp.
    They rode for 2500 miles without a problem.

    The straight section (before the V) is 14' long x 7' wide and
    it is 4'-6" to the "V". It is a Proline Snowmobile Trailer made
    in Milton,NH. It is their SNO 714 model.

    OK, we had the 7X16. I think you can squeeze them in some how? Good luck.

    I have an enclosed V-nose Loadmaster snowmobile trailer( 7 by 22) that I use to haul my Trike if need be.
    Just got back from a 600 mile trip to my Dealer.
    I had the Trike checked over before I put it away for the Winter.
    I put a eye bolt in front of the front wheel and 1 eye bolt behind the rear of the Trike.
    I put a come-a-long around the front wheel and 1 come-a-long around the trailer hitch.
    Pull them tight and away I go.

    The Triglide has a couple hooks under it in the back for strapping the back down.

    Thanks,
    I'll check hers when it arrives.
    Hopefully the weather will be nice enough for her to ride it home.

    Hello,
    I have a 7 x 12 Pace American to haul the stallion.I use the trailer hitch to secure the rear and use a ATV front wheel chock which fits the front wheel nicely.The front wheel is secured with 2 in strap. I had e-track installed on each side.Great flexibilty with this system with their bullet proof attachment points. As a percau
    tionary measure,I attach padded tie downs around front wheel rim but only snug straps to allow movement of shocks.By the way you can only order front chocks in pairs,so I have one new chock if anyone is interested.
