I use ratchet straps around the bottom tree pulled forward and out. I'll use a secondary strap around the frame or crash bars. For the rear I use the frame cross member near the transmission and pull back and out. Again a secondary set of straps go on either the crash bars or passenger peg mounts. In my personal trailer I run a strap from the bars to the wall just to stabilize the top of the bike since all of the straps are relatively low.

Only question I have is: How do you hover over the bikes to get all the straps on?

Not easily......

They have to go in in a certain order. I usually lay out the "Grid" on paper so I don't end up with one row way longer then the others. That would mess up my ability to get a couple of bike sideways.

11 bikes in a 28'x8.5'. I thought I needed more trailer however I'm real close to the legal combined weight of my truck/trailer so unless I get that "Hotshot" mini Freightliner I'd like to have, I'm ok with a 28' trailer.

HOLY COW!   That picture made me shiver.

Impressive "puzzle" to say the least.
