How to secure 2 Harley's in my voltage 3990

Yep, that's where I got my idea. There are some really great ideas on here.

Here is an earlier thread on the same thing. Since then I have done away with the eyebolts and made the holes a little larger. I now put the strap hooks through the angle and chock where the eyebolts were. So far I am real happy and it sounds like it's still working good for fj12ryder too.

In case you have E-track this is how the same cross bar is mounted in my "new" toy hauler.

Just trying to give you options.

It wasn't my idea originally, I just did it a little differently than the way the other guy did it.

If you need any details or pics, let me know.

I don't trust any chock without bolting it to part of the steel subfloor. Things just bounce around too much in my garage. For example, my wife's Ultra / DFT trike gets strapped down just like a bike. Even so, one of the rear wheels jumped a 4x4 that holds the trike away from the wall. There was significant body damage from rubbing even though the body gets covered with a fitted moving blanket in transit. Voltage 3950.

Other people will have different experiences and will tell you not to drill. Each to his own...

I use a couple of Condor chocks and some aluminum flat stock. The Condor chocks sit down on bolts up through the flat stock. The flat stock is slotted so it fits over the D-rings in the floor. Like so:



Nothing is bolted down so removal is a snap, but at the same time, nothing moves around either.

Thank you all for your quick responses. It was a great help.

We have two bikes in the back of our toy hauler. For the first year we tried using Condor chocks with 4 high quality rachet straps. The larger bike, a 700 lb. Honda ST1100 has a tendency to shift no matter how well we strapped in down. We finally paid to have a local RV tech to drop our 100 gallon fresh water tank to mount Condor plates so we could secure the chocks. It works much better and we only have a small plate on the floor. We no longer worry about the bikes shifting no matter how rough the road becomes.

That looks just like my Condor Chock. Mine holds my bike up just fine without being bolted down. When I'm not trailering my Goldwing, I use the Condor in my regular garage - nice to ride the bike into the chock and just get off.

I took a look at the wheel chock and it seems suitable for stationary use without bolting down. It would probably work in the rig to hold the bike steady until you can get them strapped down to anchors attached to the rig. Were I to use this in your situation, I would mount the two of them to a single section of 3/4" plywood and then set it in the trailer for extra stability. Depending on how closely you can space the bikes, a 2' x 6' section of plywood might do the job with the 6' dimension running across the width of the trailer.
