Buying an enclosed trailer so I can haul my SD with me as I work on the road.
Where do you hook your tie down straps onto the rear of the Super Duke.
Front is easy, top of triple clamps or somewhere in that area. Not sure where to hook the rear tho.
Trailer has a wheel chock installed already and four tie down points in the floor.
Trying to figure our some security for the trailer now, some sort of alarm.
When I get the alarm figured out I will let you know what I did. In case anyone wants to do the same.
What sort of tie down straps do you use? KTM sells some nice ones, for a price of course.

Mate check out this great Aussie invention, I use them on my bikes and are the ducks guts!

If you use them properly, you don't need to pull the front down hard and saves your fork seals.

Think I'll be buying one of those Tyre Downs, that looks great.
The trailer already has one of these fitted. http://www.lockitt.com/BikeStands1.htm#condortrail
I have traveled for years working and been so many places that I wanted to have my bike with me, not fond of hauling in the truck.
My company truck is a 2500 HD Chevy and is tall, hard to load and unload a bike.
It also has tool boxes mounted and they block the factory tie down points.

dont worry about the suspension/seals, it does no harm to it even if you leave them tied down over night. ive moved many bikes thousands of miles, even as far as Texas for Mass, and the bikes have never moved. just make sure the tie down points are secure and you have good tiedowns. i dont even bother with the back of tge bike, its going nowhere. some times if its really far ill use 2 sets on the front in case one fails
