The BEST way to secure your dirt bike | No More Straps

[@DEUCE2151]

Great job! The fact that you showed the trial and error is just as important as the success.

[@robertf7056]

Best trial and error video for securing bikes! I’ve been ratcheting down the front springs and it’s just WRONG! I’m going to try wheel chock, wooden box under skid plate, and turnbuckles. Thanks for the ideas bro!!

Really nice and efficient final setup

[@elvispusley3515]

This is what I’ve planned on for my bikes except a strap as well over the front and rear tire. I have a bumper mount for my bike and use a turnbuckle to tighten it to the bumper along with the hitch so it doesn’t move when driving. Good job bud looks good.

[@nvmcrider8475]

I am a fan of the turn buckles. A couple of small suggestions; Install jam nuts on the normal threaded end of the turnbuckle to keep them from coming loose on long trips and put nylock nuts on as a double nut on all of the nuts under the trailer, I know you have the lock washer, but why leave anything to chance.

[@AustinWaage-yb8lf]

I would angle them fwd a little bit to hold the bike in the pocket better

[@francisbobek9]

On my turnbuckles I use a wing nut to keep the turnbuckle from loosening up. I've had one disassemble itself on a 300+ miles trip. Luckily I had straps to the forks too.

[@mikethemaniac1]

I would use a welder to secure that, but the bolts make more sense if you wanna be able to take those off.

Supper idea

[@gorillaking210]

Cool idea.

[@C_R_O_M________]

Straps (with ratchets) should go on the handlebars or forks, not over the seat .

[@ronniehawkinsjr4403]

I like your setup. Super simple with no straps. What size did turnbuckle did you end o using for the yz?

[@chaseqchapman]

Yeah I love how easy it is to load the bikes now. It's a 3/8 - 10.5inch turnbuckle.

[@ThisTall]

Is the wheel chalk really necessary? There’s plenty of peg mount set ups that don’t use them at all.

[@chaseqchapman]

Probably not, made me feel better tho

[@ThisTall]

@@chaseqchapman thanks for the quick reply. I’ve been debating different configurations of this for myself. And yours is the only video with a test in the opening scene like that. I feel like there’s plenty of room to just set them tighter, and all the concern about a wheel chaulk wouldn’t be necessary

[@rickdeaton2701]

FYI, you dont want all the weight on the front. I know you didn't put the weight on the front but you wanted to. What you want if possible is 10% on the tongue and the rest over the axle. Just watch videos on how to load a trailer.

[@PistonShack]

How is dirt bike trailer rack is holding up? Any issues?

[@chaseqchapman]

I actually sold my dirtbike, but it held up good while I had it!

[@nickwukmir9853]

Not good to much movement.

[@elvispusley3515]

Nick, it’s fine.
