Strapping down a Harley Bagger

Hi all,
Just purchased a 2018 (new) Fuel 305.
I'm looking for ideas to strap down my Electraglide. With the slide-out in, doesn't give me much room forward as the crash bar is close to the rocker chairs travel location and the edge of the slider floor. I can strap the chairs in a different location if need be.
Also, how much room do I have between the floor and belly tanks. I want to bolt down a wheel chock also.
Has anyone found a suitable way to do this? I have some ideas but thought I'd check with the community first.
The owners manual doesn't really give me much help.

Thanks in advance,
Dewey

I have a fuel 250 and did two trips with a large Indian bagger and a VROD with bags. I used 5/16" threaded inserts 1" deep (the floor thickness). Over
the wheel tie downs it's thicker. I got them on Amazon and they came with my chocks. I used a smaller (not free standing) lock chock from
HF for the VROD (Forward) and used the floor tie downs. For the Indian I used a HF free standing "Condor" type chock bolted to the floor. This
one had it's own tie down loops so I had tie down spots where the cabinets were. Did two trips of probably over 3000 miles and nothing
came loose.

For the inserts you drill a 3'8" hole, screw them in, then you have 5/16" threaded holes in the floor.

Pics attached of my setup.

Thanks bunch, this is what I was thinking of. And now know the thickness of the floor. Thanks again, I'll be on my way to installing a similar system.
