Always strap the back pulling some against the front to prevent shifting. He has the tire against forward rail but the rear tire can shift side ways in a hard braking situation.

Does anyone think that it would be a good idea to first of all strap the front wheel to the front of the trailer at the point of contact, to be sure the tire could not under any circumstances shift to one side or the other?

Emergency maneouver on a ramp could make that rear end fish tail pretty bad if you don't strap her down brother.

[janmarbenius]

Hi & Thanks! Would you recommend a perfectly vertical balanced motorcycle between the straps?
i.e. no pressure on either side

I just used my tank straps to transport my bike from Florida to Iowa. Here's a question... where should the tie down points be in relation to the forks? Do you ever have a problem with the front wheel turning to one side or the other causing the bike to lean?

This guy is a professional? Never ever leave the kickstand down unless you want it to break. I've seen a pic of one that has.

Hi thanks for your sound advice I can now hire a suitable trailer for my Honda F6C valkyrie all the best Paul

have you loaded a trike? We are going to trailer a trike and a full size Indian. Was thinking the trike should go first and, maybe backwards in order to make maximum room for the Indian. Thoughts?

No tie downs for the back? Isn’t it possible for the back to move around? Also, no chock for the front tire? Isn’t it added security to keep it from moving side to side?

I bought some tank straps and I have a very similar trailer - mine is wider and I have flip over ramps. My question for the e tracks are how many screws per foot are you doing? And what length screws are you going into your deck? I'm looking to haul cars and motorcycles so that D ring set up is appealing.

Just bought a1993 Kawasaki Concours this morning 3 hours away, did your method of tying down at forks, no stand support just wheels and we put 2 more straps near rear foot pegs, strong cross wind coming home bike didn't budge!

Interesting. Our railways have rules for transporting motorbikes which say they have to be placed on kick stand. Your kick stand is kind of in the air. Also funny part is that you have to do it yourself becasue railways employees don't want to be responsible in case something breaks off :D.

Thanks for the video, just used it to load a bike I bought from you

Stick a cable tie around the front brake leaver.

[ericleger]

For the uninformed, what are tank straps?

[vimbaimutara]

wont that break the wheel thingy on the front, the wheel guard, from the bolted points?

How do I unload a cbr 600rr from a pickup truck with no ramps?

[nursemaz]

Can you make a video on how to load a small cruiser such as a 2001 Vulcan 800 into the back of a pick up truck?

[badbeatking]

I want to load my bike into a uhaul trailer. Where can I find a suitable ramp?
