    Default Trailering a F3L

    I recently acquired a nice 7' x 12' trailer to haul my scoot around
    if ever the need arose. So, how do you safely tie down a F3L
    so that it does not move around and I do not tear up something?

    Strap through the rear wheel to the back, use pad. A strap off frame or A frame to each front corner. Use ractchet type strap, not the push and release type. Never haul the Spyder backwards! Bad on windshields and gets water in all the wrong places. Roll on!
    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it. Sypder Loco!

    Default additional straps

    You can also use tie downs to keep the bike from moving side to side as the trailer bounces. I used to just strap it down back to front, now I add additional straps from each front wheel to a hardpoint on the same side to prevent lateral movement on the trailer.

    10mm eye S/S eye nuts for the front for tie downs or towing is the best way.

    I use these on the front tires. I then strap the rear tire down and slightly to the rear. Easy Peezy.
