2 straps around the triple tree, 2 straps on the rear peg mounts just to keep the bike from moving side to side and I leave 2 straps loosely on the bars just in case.
Last week going down the Ma pike towing the bike in the garage we hit a construction area that a few times felt like we were getting air in the truck/trailer. the roads out here in the east suck and things move around back there.
1jeep - So did you thru bolt your chock? Seems to me that if we use straps anyway, they're going to do most of the work holding the bike in place, and the chock is there primarily as a convenience when loading/unloading?
I have a harbor freight chock https://www.harborfreight.com/interests/motorcycle/motorcycle-stand-wheel-chock-97843.html
and use 4 straps to hold it in place in the trailer, then I strap the bike down. Yes, this involves 10 straps, but I remove 4 and the chock is easily removed from the trailer with no bolts or extra holes.
next time I put it in I will grab a couple pictures, I know your picturing a giant spider web but it isn't that bad as 4 are across the floor.
