Kaneg is good as Wattie said.

I had a Ventura once and it was OK but it was a bugger to get the bike out sometimes. When I got my next trailer I put two Kanegs in it and they were heaps better.

Pete constantly has specials, wait for one of them. Then purchase as a pair, a lot cheaper and go halves with a mate.
Once you use them you will understand why you wouldn't want to be without them again.

All I use is a rear tyre-down with mine

Chocks in the trailer are a no brainer. They are heaps safer when used.
There are many types out there from Locally Made to China Specials.
I Have used them all and while quality units work well.
So do the knock offs.
The old saying is you get what you pay for.
Trying to pull a ZX14R out of a Chock will require some effort believe me.
I need to pull it out with the side stand down using the rear grab rail while standing at the back of the bike.

As Johnymac says we have them on special still, so they're $133 at the moment, which includes freight as well (normally these are $189)

Here they're:

I dont bolt mine into the trailer. I use it to park in the garage too.
Ride into it and hop off. Easy as.

I find too if the tyre sticks in the wedge a bit, rock the bike side to side 1st and it allows it to reverse out easier.
