Tie downs for 2 motorcycles

So I tied down 2 bikes with disastrous results. Since there is no center tiedown in front for both handlebars, I had to use the middle one to keep both bikes upright. As you can see that was too much for it mainly, I suspect because there was no shock absorption like there is when you compress the front forks as you tie the handlebars down.

Question, Is there a reason the manufacturer never installed a center front tiedown or can I install one myself?

We don't have toy hauler but we have enclosed trailer and we put 3 sections of etrax down. We secured them on the bottom with huge washers so they wouldn't pull through. That is also in addition to our chocks. They have been problem free with 2 Harleys and a trike. A lot depends on what's underneath your garage area. Etrax makes it easy because you can' adjust clips for whatever is needed. Good luck!
