• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Question.. When trailering the spyder RT does anyone use wheel chocks on the front
wheels of the spyder before tying down, if so what kind ?
You would certainly need something wide enough for the front wheels..

Thanks

I have a 10' Triton aluminum trailer. I used some 2" aluminum angle stock and made 2 pieces about 15" long & attached them, one on each side, where I want the front tires to stop. Then I strap it down.
 
When trailering the Spyder I use a Condor wheel chock on one side and a simple Kuryakyn wheel chock on the other. The Condor wheel chock has a quick disconnect so I can move it from the Spyder location to the center of the trailer to carry a 2 wheeler.
 
I have almost as many miles towing my RT as riding it - I have never used or needed a chock - one strap in front and one in back, with the parking brake engaged, and the RT never moves.

8x12x7 - single axel (w/bks) covered trailer, with Home Depot deck kote covered floor (as good as Rhino Lining!!!)
 
I got some chocks at Camping World and bolted them to my Alumna TK-1 trailer.
Look under the mods section and "Cavman's getting started" area.
I use one ratchet strap each for the front wheels and duals with a lift strap around the rear wheel held with two ratchet straps to each side.
Check out US Cargo Control hold down products.
 
I don't trailer mine but we have a supporting vendor that sells chocks - Superclamp Spyders. Check out the home page for the link to their site.
 
I use cheap, plastic, RV wheel chocks from Walmart, bolted to the trailer bed. Not necessary, but mighty handy. A 2x4, angle iron, plain chock, or fancy chock will do. They all serve the same purpose.
 
I tie down the rear wheel as shown below, then tie each front wheel down to a floor ring and it never moves. No chocks needed.
