how to tie down a bike in Hobbi 200

I have never had a tie-down with carabiners and soft hooks to come off.



Yes, the Beast Racks are secure and easy to install and remove. They can use the existing toy hauler tie downs if they are in the right place.

I've been checking out the system that "atwowheelguy" uses. About $300-$400 depending on options. Looks pretty secure and easy to use.
If using a chock and plywood, I think putting a rubber mat between the floor and plywood would give it a lot more "traction" to keep it from moving around.

N.M.T.D

Need More Tie Downs....4 is worhtless really, i have 6 and id rather have 8. You can never have enough, thats thats how i think. Chocks work sometimes, but i dont reli on them at all.

Wouldn't you want more suspension travel on the bike? I was going to get the wheel chock and a tie down hook on the fork by the seal, maybe another higher up on the fork. A good bump and the suspension can relax. On a really bumpy logging road I once lost an atv with 4 straps, then lost the same atv with 6 straps a year later

I put a wheel chock like that in the front of my Hobbi between the sink and front bed, so I could haul a bike sideways there. But I also added additional tie downs throughout.

Four straps pulling at 45 degrees will keep your bike in place. It is more convenient to use a front wheel chock (I also have mine mounted to 3/4" sheet of plywood), but I still use four straps. My full fairing sport tour gets straps through the lower triple trees and rear swing arm. The scooters are tied at the handlebars and rear racks at the upper shock mounts.

I mounted a wheel chalk to a piece of wood. If you can place the wood against a wall that is best. If not, make sure you have straps pulling against each other fore and aft as well as side to side. Hope that makes sense.

Here's an example of a product that may work as well:Wheel Chock

If you focus below the front wheel of the KTM you can see the mounted Wheel chock. I use two of these:
