wow.. I've used ratchet straps for a couple decades now and never thought to loop it around the hook like you did on the first strap. Thanks for that. I love youtube, and guys like you willing to part with those gold nuggets of information.

Buy a Pingel wheel chock and follow instructions. Not gonna beat this guy up, his hearts in the right place. Plus, he did an OK job. Rear racks are usually only have 10lbs. rating, so use rear foot peg mount or frame/swingarm. REMEMBER, when using chocks, all straps pull forward into the chock. Hope this helps.

@jimbo92107 3 года назад

Why not attach the straps lower on the shock assembly, so the shock is not involved at all when the truck hits a bump? That way you avoid the shock taking damage, while the strap should be strong enough to keep the bike pinned down, and the front tire does any flexing that is needed.

@BikesBoatsBivouacs 3 года назад

Thanks for the advice.

@jimthompson717 Год назад

It could slide down if not over the triple clamp.

@collinmc90 Год назад

I just did this with my bike, it is SO much more secure. every bump you hit if you compress the suspension, will cause the strap to go loose for a second till the suspension can re compress. If you go off the lower part of the forks (if you can on your bike) makes it so much more rigid. I literally stood on my bike and leaned waaaaay over hopped up and down and that thing didn't move a bit!

@ZeezaAndNomadicJack Год назад

By compressing the struts, you are limiting the range of travel for the motorcycle. There’s hardly any chance that the motorcycle is going to compress any more than that even on a trailer unless you’re like off-roading while you’re towing it lol hope you find that helpful.

@Racer57 4 года назад

Why not just hook the strap hook into the square of the trailer? If you loop the strap around it, the strap on the metal is more likely to cut through the strap than the hook is to come undone.

@BikesBoatsBivouacs 4 года назад

That would work.

@georgebanker2669 3 года назад

If you get the tiniest bit of compression on the bike the hook can come off the metal and the bike is then able to fall over.

@CarlosGarcia-ls4hn 3 года назад

Never put the straps where they will compress the tubes. It will eventually blow the seals. Check out bikes and beards, I've been doing it by the lower fork legs on my electra glide and once on my Roadmaster. Much more stable.

Only thing I see wrong is not hooking the hooks to the trailer! Looping the strap through tie down to its self creates a rub point on the strap and it can bust on ya!

Good narration, but I need to see what you’re doing and your hands were in front of the spot you were working on a few times.

Sorry about that, thanks for watching.

Never compress your suspension! Those straps should be on on your forks

Hasn't happened yet. Thanks for watching.

I have to say I don't agree with this at all. Move your straps down to the union of the front fender at the lower shock. You don't want pressure on your shocks. You want unsprung weight on those straps. Same on the rear. Go through the lower frame so the bike doesn't have any sprung weight on the straps.

Several had mentioned this although I never had an issue. Thanks for watching.
