Hauling a Harley

Floors are like 5/8 to 3/4. If you use bolts and large washers on the bottom it wll hold fine. I used a recessed D Ring type tie down with a bottom plate. More work to put in but it will hold alot..

My floor was thick enough where I could use a solid backing plate. if not you need one with a hole in it that the D Ring will sit into.

One problem you might run into installing tiedowns is if you have a sealed underbelly.

The Condor makes an excellent travel chock. We have 2 and they are great. They really negate the need to tie down the bike super tight.

Are the floors sturdy enough to install a tiedown or does it need to go through the frame.

I've carried 2 Ultra's cross country several times. Before I started I double checked all the factory tie-downs. They were predominantly wood screws and not gonna cut it. I replaced them with through bolts, large washers and lock-nuts. I used thread-locker on all. I figured it was my bike and my responsibility and the best insurance was a good defense.

To date, no issues. Take a little time to go the extra mile. You'll be a lot more relaxed if you know how things are tied down and to what.

Happy Camping!!

Get a $40 wheel chock from Harbor Freight - it will hold the front wheel steady.

I will have to check the tiedowns and make sure. The tiedowns in the rear are bolted to the frame it's the front ones I am concerned about.

I would say if the floor tiedowns are screwed into the floor with a wood screw no if they are bolted through with a bold and nut then yes. My friend had his tiedowns pull out and they were only held in by wood screws into the floor. Also think about what kind of wheel chock you want to use. I would go with a Condor...

Thanks for the information I will try that.

The Pacific Coach Works units are nice rigs but not super popular/well known, to make sure I'd call PCW to verify they can. (951) 686-7294 or email at info@pacificcoachworks.com
