Most snug way to tie down is by compressing the suspension...put straps on & snug out the slack, then lean the bike to one side a few inches & snug slack created, lean to the other side & snug again...go back & forth a few times & you can easily draw the suspension down & the straps will be so tight the only movement will be the entire trailer...bike should be standing straight up when ur done. Careful releasing straps, just go back & forth leaning to each side to create slack & release evenly.
handlebars strapping on any bike is what we call an AFRICAN ENGINERING NIGHTMARE,never do it on any bike use frame with protection or tubes take your time and look and think but forget ALFRED EINSTEIN'Sidea of handlebars Dowman Road Harley
Uneven restraint will result in tie-down failure. You got one strap thats about 2 feet long and another one thats about 9 feet! Recipe for disaster. Tie your bike down in the middle of the trailer. You also need to be using the straps to pull the bike towards the chock (aft restraint).Good luck.
you should really be putting those straps up on the handle bars.. they arent even above the center of gravity and thats a huge problem if you plan on towing it around
Thanks for the video. I wanted to see the $39.00 harbor freight chock in action. Notice I wrote chock not CHOKE. The others were correct in that you are not strapping it correctly. Happy Trails.

I bought one of these chocks from Harbor Freight about five years ago. It works great. Never had a problem with it.

the chock is basically to keep the wheel from sliding out from under the bike, not to hold the whole bike up. it's doing its job just fine.
