I did a search and read all of the posts on enclosed trailers and the various setups, including MX-727's gallery. I have a 6 x 12 Pace American enclosed trailer that I want to be able to carry 4 bikes. The issue is that at times I go on woods rides with friends and could bring 4 full size KTMs. Other times, I will be riding MX with my son so we will have my CRF450R, and his KX65 and KX85. I like the idea of lining up the bikes at an angle and I also like the idea of tieing down the footpegs to the floor. If I only had 4 full size bikes, I would likely just get the ATK bike shoes. So, what do you think of the following options:
1. 4 ATK bike shoes - no tie downs for the large bikes, put d-rings on the floor for the last two shoes to hold the KX65 and kX85 whenever I bring them.
2. 4 removable shoes with a track of e-line on the wall to attach tie downs to.
3. 4 removable shoes with d-rings in the floor to attach tie downs to the footpegs.
I have never used the ATK shoes and have never known anybody that has so I am skeptical if they work or would hold the KX65 or KX85 (even with tiedowns). I also like the flexibility of option 3 to remove the shoes if I need to and to limit the tangled mess of tiedowns if I go from the bars to e-line. Right now I have an empty trailer so I don't want to screw it up!
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
