trailer tie down and fork compression

Since it's a motorcycle trailer you won't have to purchase a wheel chock. If the exhaust is hot make sure your straps don't touch the headers or muffler.

Thanks to Longranger and frulk for your replies. I knew not to ratchet it down on either stand, and to leave it in gear from reading I have already done. The U-Haul trailer I don't consider a real chock. It has no indent on the floor. No back of tire support, unless I receive equipment at time of rental. All it is really is a "v" that protrudes outside the front wall. The "v" angle is rather wide too and I don't think it will give much if any side wheel support. Just my opinion though as of course I've never used one for a bike.

Still looking for any and all replies. Thanks for you 2 who have already chipped in. Smile
