How do you tie down a motorcycle on a trailer without chock?
Tying Down A Motorcycle Safely
- Apply soft straps to your motorcycle, securing the ends to the sides of your trailer or the fixtures on your truck bed.
- Loop each soft strap to a ratchet strap.
- Then, compress your shocks a bit — this will prevent the straps from disengaging if you drive on a bumpy road.
What size ratchet straps for motorcycle?
Strap Length: The strap needs to be long enough to bridge the distance between a part of the motorcycle and the trailer. Extra length is also usually required to have enough for securing the strap through tension. Most straps are two to eight feet in length, but longer verions are also available for larger trailers.
How can I transport my motorcycle without a truck?
A very simple way to move your bike without the use of a truck is by loading it into a small trailer. There are dedicated motorcycle trailers that feature built-in ramps, tie downs, even built-in wheel chocks, but even the most basic trailer will work with the appropriate tie-down points.
