You should make a video putting that on your trailer and charge them. The problem is I don't have my own trailer yet. What kind of trailer do you have and what ramp do you use to put it on?

I forgot to add gorgeous bike.

It's just a regular trailer with a ramp door, he just jacks up the tongue a couple inches and rides right in..

Never good to compress the front forks I believe there is another set up available but I can’t remember the name of it but it mounts to the frame of the motorcycle

I’ve trailered bikes since the early 70s and always compress the front forks to pull the bike forward but I limit the compression of the front forks to about 1 inch. Too much compression is bad for the front forks. As for the back, I tighten the back up so it’s not going anywhere.....even if the trailer is upside down!

Got mine in the trailer and my new tie down straps are to long between the hooks, when pulled all the way in. So I had to shorten the ones around the frame by crisis crossing them.

I use the lower tree and lower swing arm. Straps are pulling outward in every direction. Just made a 2500 mi round trip to Daytona. Packed in a 6x12 tightly next to a road glide. Made it without a scratch. 6C7C4C15-058D-4133-BDDC-FF1FDEF28695.jpeg
