Any problem transporting a Spyder RT (2015) on Flatbed without wheel chocks.
Thinking about taking the Spyder on a little trip behind the RV. I have a flatbed "car hauler" trailer and straps. Any issues in doing it without wheel chocks?
I'm planning on using two straps on the front, one on each of the lower shock mounts going forward (has Lamonster tie down rings, like attached picture).
Plus, two straps around the back tire going both directions rearward. This is how I've transported cars and assume this will be ok for the Spyder.
Just thought I would check with all the experience in this group. Thanks.
Sounds good, double & triple check straps at stops along the wayplease do not put any cover on it -wind flutter will scuff paint

Use your straps pull it from both directions, and what I would do is take a couple 2x4 and screw them down to your wooden deck in the front with some screws so you can just take them off when you're not hauling it anymore. Have done that on my trailers a lot when I got things I don't want to work forward while hauling!
"has Lamonster tie down rings", I love it when people run with my ideas, as I believe that I was the first person to document installing these lifting eye nuts.

NoFlyzone, I use the front shock Eyebolts from TricLED that are powder coated black, then cross the front tie downs to prevent the front from shifting side to side (then I don't need the extra blocking). I then loop the tie-down ratchet strap around the rear rim to the rear trailer corner. Spyder doesn't move at all.
