The Titan lift is a 2-piece. There is a small steel plate (WAG it about 3x6 inches) that is held in place with two ½ inch lag bolts. The main chock slides into the plate and is secured with a quick release thumb screw (I think that's what it's called). The mounting bracket only sticks up less than ½ inch and when the chock is not in place I move one of the swivel rockers over it to hide it. Pix here:
As far as location, when loaded the Harley front axle is in line with the trailer rear axle. The Vengeance has a really heavy tongue weight...advertised as 1,100 pounds when delivered. It doesn't seem to be a problem because the truck only drops about one inch hitch height when the trailer is attached (with WD hitch in place). The local county trash dump has certified scales and when I get the time I'm taking the rig down there to get individual axle weights, both with and without the Harley loaded. They already gave me the front and rear axle plus total weights so I have a baseline to go by.
The bike is located to where I have about 10 inches of clearance between the trunk pak and the ramp door when closed. Gives me enough room to walk behind it (barely) and have space for storage.
