Trike and Aluma trailer

[Tom R]

Can anyone tell me where to locate the wheel chock that comes with the Aluma TK 1. I have a 2009 H-D TriGlide.
Thanks

Whenever I trailer my trike somewhere I do not use a chock. Just set the emergency brake and use tie downs and I don't pull those extremely tight. I use these tie downs, love them because they work like a seat belt. Once they are tightened down if you hit a dip in the road and the trike suspension compresses the tie downs automatically cinch up tighter, called the cargo buckle.

I have a spare Aluma factory wheel chock I might sell if anyone is interested.

Which size fits the TG?

The weight on the hitch rule of thumb is 15 to 20% of the trailer weight. I placed my Aluma level on the driveway with the chock & trike on the trailer. I placed a box under the hitch (keeping the trailer level) and placed a bathroom scale on the box. Add the weight of the trailer & trike and get an approximate gross trailer weight. Take 15 to 20% of that weight number and that should be what is showing on the scale. You can move the trike forward or back on the trailer to adjust the weight. When you have the weight you want on the hitch, mark the holes to drill to attach chock. Remove the trike from the trailer, drill the holes and attached the chock. That is what I did and it seemed to work well.
