Default I'm looking for a ?

I'm not sure of the name, but I'm looking for something to bolt down to my trailer that the front wheel of my bike will go into to help it stay upright while strapping it down, and keep the front end from moving while towing. I just got back from the U.P. of michigan and I had to pull over 2 times on the way there and once on the way back to straighten out the front of the bike. I know from experience if you go to long the bike will eventually fall over so once I start to see it moving I fix it. When I had an old mx bike one came with it. When I sold it, I gave it to the new owner. What is this thing called and where can I buy one? Hopefully someone knows what I'm looking for. I'm not really sure how to explain what I want.

I have one of those bars in the back of my truck that keeps 3 bikes upright. I think I paid like 100 for it. But I know what you are talking about. Some of them flip up once the tire is in place

Well, the old one I had was a curved piece of plastic with sides that was the same contour of the tire. I've been searching on the internet and cannot seem to come up with any thing.

if your trailer is wood floored take two 12 inch sections of 2x4 and screw them down leaving enough gap for the tire, same could be done for the back ...but i googled motorcycle trailer wheel chock and wheel clamp and got a ton of stuff, starting at 45 bucks or so for example Amazon.com: Motorcycle Trailer Wheel Chock,: Automotive

That's the same one Harbor Freight sells cheaper. Some people love them but others have had problems with the side support bars hitting their brake rotors. I have three of these. Two in my enclosed trailer and one that I use to set the bike upright in the garage to make more room.

How's this. I can't remember the name of it. But here it is.



I have three of them. We put two KLXs and 520 KTM and went from Sedro Woolley, Wa. to Bend, Oregon. All went fine. I think they are about $75.00 each.
