Never done something like this. I assume I'll put it on the centre stand?
Erik,
Don't use the stands. the road shock will be hard on the frame and undercarriage.
I have a cheap front wheel chock that locks the wheel in place and in the rear I have two 2x4 boards making a channel for the rear wheel.
Then I tie the front wheel to the front of the trailer through the rim.
Next I make V shaped front and back straps to the sides from each engine guard and pannier guard. This way the pressure on the mounting bolts are not straight out to the sides.
Finally I tie the handle bars straight to the sides for side load stabilization.
The bike is free to move up and down on the suspension without pre-loading the suspension.
It can't go back, it can't go forward and it can't go to the sides. Just up and down.
Works very well and no plastic abrasion occurs.
