I would like to just use one piece tucked out of the way that way l can quick disconnect the chock and walk barefooted in trailer. Thank you for your time.

Expert Reply:

You can use the E-Track system mounted the width of your trailer to secure your motorcycle.

For a 5 ft long track you would need part # E19148.

I recommend the E-Track D-Ring, 6K Round Ring, part # 59147. This is a 6,000 lb ring with the E-Track attachment.

I recommend a ratcheting tie-down strap like part # EM51330. This tie-down strap measures 1-1/2 inches x 15 ft, and has a working load lmit of 1,300 lbs.

I have attached links to some product reviews you can check out.
