For our trike we use a pingel that is removable. I can either drive the trike in or back it in. Just have to move the pingle. Also have 2 tracks on the floor. One on either side. In over 5000 mile the trike hasn't moved at all.

Doc, good stuff. Very nice of you to share this. Since I don't have a drill press, I'll go to machine shop and have a dozen of bolts drlled & tapped.
I also went to Harbor Frieght today and got those chocks. For $39 each, it was a good deal. Let me ask dumb question #2. To tighten those chocks of the front wheel, I need to tighten the two nuts so that square keepers in piot bolts are snug in the square holes? I need to use a wrench each time I want to lock the bike in them?
The instructions with the chock aren't nearly so clear as your photos.

I have them set up so that I can have either one bike centered or off centered, depending on what else I am loading into the trailer. Or I can load two full dressed bikes side by side and neither is touching. Because of the front disc covers on the Goldwing, I set in plywood to raise the front tire 3/4" so that they do not get scratched.
I made my own floor mounts out of 5'8" bolts drilled and tapped to 3/8" USS, just off center, so that they can be aligned. For the hook tie downs, I drilled 3/4" bolts and tapped them with 1/2" USS for either threaded eye bolts or standard bolts.
I have used these type of tie down bolts for several previous trailers that I have set up. If I really need to have a flat floor, ti does not take that much to pull them out, or I can lay plywood over them.

I sent you a PM. Once I adjusted the flip the way I liked it, I left them that way and secured the bolts and nuts with red lock-tite.

I use an E-Trac system set up in my hauler. The tracks are through bolted to the frame underneath. I use a set of D-Rings with clips that I can set anywhere along the tracks in any position. I have pingle chocks that that lock into the track again in any position I choose. The chocks and D-rings are all removable, leaving just the tracks on the floor. I cover the tracks with a nice throw down carpet from wally world, that happens to match my decor, and we're all set with a nice floor to walk on.
I've used this set up to confiquire the trailer to haul anywhere from one to three Harleys at a time. It works great, IMHO

The solutions previously mentioned (e-track, pingel, etc.) are all great. As an alternative, I bumped into a mention of the Bolt-it-on system (more info here) elsewhere on this site.
I ended up picking one up, and have been very satisfied with it. Here's a shot of it in my WW FB1900 getting ready to leave for a track day.

You pegged it. It's an antique, a '99 R6. I could probably draw a crowd at a track day now, explaining those weird things it has on it called "carburetors"!
I bought it as a lightly used (mostly stored) ex-racer to do track days on. Knock on wood, it still looks like the picture... So far.
Doing this stuff with a toyhauler makes it all the better!

I use the Bolt-It-On set-up, by far, the best, easiest and quickest system (as a whole) available. When removed, nobody can figure out how I haul so many bikes. I am the first one loaded and the first one unloaded! First class product with first class people. Give it a look. Here is a picture of what is obtainable.
