Just bought a trailer. I need to secure the bike on the trailer. Anybody have any front and rear stands they recommend mounting to the trailer to secure the bike? Thanks.

You don't need any strands. If the trailer has a bar accross the front you can just put the front of the bike leaned up against that and strap it down good. Or you can bolt in a front chock

Get a front wheel chock, some tie down anchors, and a Canyon Dancer :punk

I personally have an inset centered on my trailer that lines the front center on the trailer. I than aline the rear with the front. I set the bike on the side-stand while I put a strap on each side of the triple trees and tighten them down even while compressing the front suspension(not totally, but to where the straps are taught). I than use a third strap on the rear to keep it from moving.

A wheel chock with straps is probably the safest route if you want to go that route.

Run to Harbor Freight and pick one of these up. They work great. I've been using one for years.

That's what I bolted to my trailer and have had no problems with it at all.

Must be nice to have a pick-up to put the bike in.
