bluebanshee98 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 never used straps on mine in the back of my truck. just the gas turned off and put in first gear. on a flat bed however i would put it around something solid ( foot pegs, frame, carrier ect ect) which everyone keeps it in place and gives you a piece of mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 My bike is on a completely open trailer. I thought you weren't supposed to be within 300' of a school or park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave5.0 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 My bike is on a completely open trailer. If I was strappin down to that trailer I'd have 4 straps. 2 in the rear around the axle or maybe hooked to the carrier and then out to the eyes. Two on the front either around the upper or lower ballpoints, depending on strap length the. Down to the eyes. It'll never move like that. And then my anal self would bring the extra from one of the straps through a footpeg, over the seat, and tied off to the other footpeg. Cause riding the frame when your seat blew off goin down the road sucks ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereme6655 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 My bike is on a completely open trailer. Having issues with backing in your trailer??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 First off that's my property that the child entertainment zone is on, so that's the loop hole in those stupid laws. And the trailer height lines up perfectly with the grass so I just push it right on with no ramps or lifting. But I've been doing 2 from the grab bar, which obviously has a lot of suspension travel, and 2 from the lower a arms. I've had the bike bounce on me and almost fall off, so I'm really over doing it. I'm gonna try the axle this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 put the front about where you want it, and just strap it enough the strap doesn't give, then strap the back about 5-6" compression at the grab. suck the front down about 2 inches and you are done. i always cross-strap like equipment/loads. doesn't go anywhere for me, and ak roads/trails can get pretty rough.

Paulie B Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Having issues with backing in your trailer??? I thought the same. It's nice that I'm not the only one with a midget trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I thought the same. It's nice that I'm not the only one with a midget trailer. I hate it. With the arms and axle I'm hanging off the edge of that thing. I built it for almost nothing tho so i can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedder Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 We have an eyebolt in the trailer floor at each end of the bike. Rachet straps from the front to each footpeg and one that wraps around the base of the rear strut to the back eyebolt. We've clocked over 6900 miles with that setup. Our wheelie bars are bungeed under the bikes between the eyebolts also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedder Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Woo man is that a flip top trailer? Clam shell style snowmobile trailer - It's worked great for us. Very light (aluminum) Tilts to load/unload. I had an aluminum box put in behind the bikes that holds two fuel jugs and two milk crates of track stuff and we're working on a sunshade attached off the back.
