[QUOTE="danh600, post: 1221301, member: 86538"] I am wanting to do some long trips this summer. My wife rides also. She loves the scenic stuff but doesn't really enjoy 500+ mile days just getting somewhere. When you live in Florida you have to spend at least a day on the interstate or you never get anywhere before all the sudden your vacation time is over. So we have a cargo trailer we are converting into a camper/bike hauler. My question- I have condor wheel chocks that are great. They hold the bike very secure. Now the way the D rings are installed I have to run the tie downs out wide. About a 45 degree angle. That's fine on the naked cruisers. On the FJR if you cinch a soft tie to the triple clamp you can not go out very wide to a tie off. The strap starts hitting the fairing. Should I : 1. Install extra recessed D Rings closer to the wheel chocks? This would decrease the angle of the tie off. 2. Find a different place to tie off in the front? Is there an alternative tie off spot? I have heard mixed recommendations on canyon dancers. I am trying to keep my trailer somewhat "universal" so I can put any combination of bikes in there. [/QUOTE]
