Default sketchy way to load raptor on trailer?

my friend just got a blaster and now we want to go to the local motocross track. the trailer i have isnt big enough to fit them in normally so his has to go in horizontally with the front wheels up on the trailer's side metal barrier guard thing. (dont know what its called) mine raptor is too heavy to pick up sideways so i have it facing forwards but with the front hanging over the front bars on the trailer just dangling with the weight on the frame and the front barrier. I have a rug i use as protection and the part of the frame right before the a arms is resting on the bar and the wheels are up in the air. I just wanted to know if this is bad for the frame or if anyone has any other suggestion on how to fit our quads onto this trailer. thanks for any help. warrior86

I once had to tow a 4x8 trailer with 2 raptors on it for 500 miles LOL. They were both on the side rail and a just a hair over the side. We used 10 tie downs on each bike if I remember right. Passed many cops and they never pulled me over though I was surely overloaded.

i know it will work the way im doing it. All im concerned about is damaging the frame. I dont want to bend it or ding it or whatever considering it is like the midpoint of the weight and there is all the weight from the a arms and wheels pulling in a downward direction cause there is nothing to support them. so its kind of putting the stress in a bow type way. after the point where the frame is supported, there is nothing supporting the a arms. what do u guys think?
