Video on Strapping down a Trike

mgwtrike · Jul 14, 2015

Is there a video out there some where on strapping down my Goldwing trike on a enclosed trailer?

Also, do you use the "self adjusting" straps that are sold out there and are they worth the $$$$$
I'll be trailering my Goldwing RS trike on a 2000 mile trip.

Cheers!

Good wheel chock for the front wheel. Straps from the triple tree going forward to hold trike firmly in wheel chock. I strapped mine from the trailer hitch to the sides. Rode fine for over 500 miles, including one panic stop.

The roadsmith has tie downs close to the shocks. I use a steel T that goes into the trailer hitch for tieing the rear. I also use the lower tripple tree to tie down the front in the wheel chock. Like flyswatter does.

I'm sorry I'm confused.

I know where Roadsmith tie downs are, round holes above each shock in the back.
Then you say you use the steel T from the trailer hitch, sooooo do you tie down the rear in both places ??? :Shrug:
