How far apart do you place e track panels on the floor of your cargo trailer to correctly tie down harley-davidson ultra limited size motorcycle? That is with a track on either side of bike ?

Expert Reply:
There is no set distance apart that the E-Track, such as # E19148, has to be mounted. If it were me I would place them so that they are about an E-track's width apart wider than the widest part of the bike on each side.
So for example if the bike 36 inches wide and the E-Track is 5-1/8 inches wide I would place the E-Track so there is 46-1/4 inches between them. I also recommend picking up several tie-downs, # E59143, to secure straps such as # EM34416 to the E-Track.
