Motorcycle mount

If you have the swivel (rear) section on wrong, it won't pivot up when not in use.

I had the same problem, so I took a hi-lift jack and opened the front up more. More of a "U" shape instead of the tighter "V". Still sticks, but not as bad.

Still loving the ease of the Biker Bars

Bolt It On, Serious Racks
I made my own version of this and it works great for 2 bikes (one dresser, one sport bike). I just took a piece of 2x4 tube steel, notched and welded some 4x4 angle iron (for the wheels to fit into). Then I just set this on 2 jack stands, bolt it down with some J-bolts, lock washers, and wing nuts; and it's good to go. Spent maybe $100 total and it holds the bikes solid without having to modify / drill the trailer at all. I'll try to get some pics asap.

th
Sure. That is a u-bolt running through the wood. It is the same width as the chock.

After this picture, I painted the wood blocks with black bed liner. From a few feet, it looks oem.

Another thought. Weld a bolt on the bottom pointing forward. Slide it through the hold down loop, add a washer and lock nut. I did that to the middle front of my HF, holds the wing just fine. Threw the rocker away. To small to fit wing tire. 4 tie downs , two forward----two back front wheel in chock and frame block of 2x4 's in front of rear wheel..

NJ-Bill, I did like your idea for the front wheel chock. I have used these HF floor chocks in my garage for years. I do not have them bolted to the floor, but mounted on a 1x12 for the full length and glued HF tool drawer mat to the bottom side. does not slide on the garage floor when rolling the bike on or off. I used this same idea for the toy hauler.


Bottom with the HF tool drawer mat



I used a 6 inch in length 2x4 to catch the tie-down loop and a 1-1/2 U-Bolt (which measures 2" inside) to capture the HF Wheel Chock.


The 1x12 lifts the chock 3/4 of an inch to allow the U-Bolt to pass under and not touch the floor. No drilling in the Chock assy.





When I got to Denver this last weekend I rolled the bike and tie it down it did not move.

Racenviper,

That looks great. I may copy the wood underneath.
Thanks,
Bill

Finally got my mount finished and placed in my 2016 26rr. I admit freely that I took several of your ideas and made them work for my camper (glamper, according to my DW). Making a second similar design mount for my buddies bike. Here are some picutres.

26RR Motorcycle Mount

I like the idea of the 2 x 4 but I really need to get into my fridge on the road. I am thinking a single ring in the center at the 10 ft mark to tie into the HF Chock and straps out to the rings. Worked on my WP22 with a 900 pound bike. Real key though was putting a wood block under the frame like you would if you were working on it in the garage. That takes the strain off everything.

Just a note, the 2X4 blocks the fuse box and is several inches below the fridge. If anything is going to block the fridge it will be the front wheel or a tie down strap. On my 2016 26rr, the front d-rings are 60+ inches apart.

I ended up going with the Condor SC-2000 motorcycle stand in my XLR and am very happy with it. The mounting plates are the only pieces that stay in the camper and they are very low profile (the table leg bases stick up off the floor more than these do). Then its just a couple thumb screws to put the stand in / out. It is able to hold up my raked bike (Yamaha Stryker) without an issue which makes it a lot easier to strap the bike down.

Went to HF in Savannah, Ga and got mine. Lady at the register gave me a 20% off coupon and saved me 12 bucks!

Now to get it installed this weekend! Biketoberfest here we come!!

Made it all the way to Arkansas and never moved. Much better than the first trip with the bike. Thanks for the well wishes RiderBloke. It had been a great trip so far.
