Look at this load... I no longer transport that many. To much risk/work. 8-10 is plenty depending on what they are. Hotrod's take up some room. Stock bikes are much easier for me.

BigLew
my 20', 28' and 38' all were/are 8.5' wide. I have a 7' wide trailer also and I wouldn't do that again. The wheels stick out regardless so I might as well get the box that wide also.

I actually considered that from the beginning however the '19 has an ABS line that runs outboard on the frame rail RT side.   I thought that the clamps would not be able to grab without damaging the line so I did not gamble on the 377.00 purchase price.



wonder if you could slide the clamp in between the abs line and frame

I am not sure but at over 350.00 bucks it was too much money for me to gamble and then have to try and sell if I couldn't get it to work.     Would be a nice thing for the Mfg to research and let consumers know!    Might have made them a sale!

I may have gone overboard  :) but here is the system that I came up with that worked for the 2400 mile trip there and back.  I only had an old 6x10 enclosed trailer to work with so it was tight but worked out fine.    1.  A good solid wheel chock mounted to the frame of the trailer.   2.  Attached to the support behind the Fang where the standard engine guard would be (Thanks to Puzzled for the input)   I used a second set of straps (Green Ones) to pull the primary strap inward to keep it away from the Fang Spoiler.     3.   Straps on the rear curved floor board mount.     To keep the rear from walking over bumps I lightly attached to the passenger footpegs.     To add some stability from tipping I took the seats off and threaded forged 3/8-16 eyelets into the factory lift holes and strapped.

I have tried everything. The solution that is far above any other is the Biker Bar. I have an 8.5 X 20 Trailer and tow 4 dressers without any worries. Eventually you will damage the fork seals or something else with straps. I know I used them for years and years. BUT The Biker Bare is so easy and quick and the bike rides on its suspension as it should. Also it is 2 minutes on and off.

I love my biker bar, but after what I went thru last year it’s. It enough. I still use a few stamps and a couple of knockers to keep it up right. Really depends on how far I’m pulling the bike

He did state earlier that it isn't compatible with his bike due to a line running along the outside of the frame.



Glad you got it there and back. Looks like it worked out for ya just fine. I always run a strap through the front wheel around the wheel chock also but I don't see how to do that with that chock.
