It's called a Canyone Dancer. Sweet little thing. It keeps the tie downs away from your R and L fairings. Look on ebay...type "canyone dancer tie downs" into the search bar...they're like $30 or so.get one of those straps that goes across handelbars with the loops and run one around threw the rear wheel
Definitely watch the fairings. Wrap the Canyon Dancer with a cotton towel to prevent damage if your tie-down points aren't far enough apart or high enough to prevent contact.Canyon Dancer straps are great just make sure to watch the fairings when you tie it down. If the anchor points are to close to the bike the straps will rub. You can get them at any motorcycle shop.
as long as the front wheel is straight, and against the trailer front it wont move. Pull those tie downs so it compresses the front end , doesn't have to be all the way, 70-80 % is plenty.
Wont hurt the suspension. no worries.
go 4 it....its not nessecary... but if it suits yer piece o mind...as long as the front wheel is straight, and against the trailer front it wont move. Pull those tie downs so it compresses the front end , doesn't have to be all the way, 70-80 % is plenty.

I got a price on a wheel chock 48.00 at cycle gear, if they still have it tomorrow I think I'm going to get it anyway.
Aw, Rub could definitely be right. In fact I would trust he is. You probably don't need a chock. I'm so overly anal...I feel like without a chock my bike isn't stable...I won't be secure even in a four point tie...that's probably all bullsh!t, but it's just me, I guess...as long as the front wheel is straight, and against the trailer front it wont move.

Thought about it last night and as many people that are leaving I may not be able to park a trailer anywhere so we are taking both cars and I have loaded it in the back of my truck with the canyon dancers...they worked great! Hope I have a home when I come back!Be careful with the cheaper chocks. If your rotors fit inside the chock they can wind up bent if the bike moves around. Some of the simple chocks seem to be intended more for dirt bikes. The Condor and Baxley are a lot more money, but do a great job. I tie mine down with just a couple straps to the rear peg mounts. No scratched fairings, no stressed suspension or bars. I did use a Canyon Dancer prior to using the Condors with decent results.
good luck man... ya need to call someone and let us know how it goes..
hit me a p.m. and I'll give you my #
