How to tie down in trailer?

[360rider]

i have a few ratcheting straps and was wondering if anyone has any strap down advice or photos of where to tie down?

This is what I bought in case I need to trailer. Worked great no need for worry of rubbing on fairing or wearing out busshing in handlebars.

It is chrome and barley noticeable and always on the bike.

Do you have a front wheel lock ?? These make all the difference in the world. The wheel lock I have has a strap that goes over the front tire locking it in and then I strap the back down. I do put a couple of straps on the front also just in case but not really needed. How tall is your trailer ???

No I am going to rent a uhaul to go pick up my new bike, it is dumping rain in the Seattle/Tacoma area and I dont want to pile it up on the highway....

They should be able to help you at the dealership getting it tied down so it will stay put.

Have the dealership deliver the bike.

Good idea Gunner never even thought of that but that would probably be best.

The dealers in Nevada deliver even after a service from 300 miles away

Trust me, they have enough money in that bike sale to work with you on delivery.

I agree make them deliver it If it's flooding rain they are probably not busy and in need of something to do.
