One way to tie a Busa down in trailer with no spring loading.

[dadofthree]

Thanks for the info Mike. Looks secure to me. They make a rear axle chock too. On the Gen II there is no cotter pin on the rear axle nut....

I have heard of ppl that say that there susp. feel's diffrent after a long haul on a trailer........I cant say from exp.

It would be safer without the rear stand.

I agree. Don't need it with a Baxley sport chock.

I agree too.
In fact the way I have the front tied down into the Baxley, that is probably good enough by itself.
I am a little overkill at times.

Nice job. I was thinking about doing the exact same thing, but I haven't had the time to engineer/buy the parts yet. Now I don't need to. Yours is perfect. Thanks.

I guess it is better to have too much than too little. I'm all for it if it makes you more comfortable. I have hauled four busas thousands of miles with the straps on the rear pegs, pulling forward, out and down per the instructions from Baxley. The instructions also say to place the chock in the back of a pickup with the same two straps with no need to bolt the chock to the truck bed.

That's why the instructions are to take the load off the spring, when not in use.

I've never seen a manual written by an engineer, so...

amazing talent on the Org! awesome man!

nice idea, , just seems like an awful lot of work, I just usually use a canyon dancer and two tie downs, and maybe two at the back for bouce, nothing gets touched and it works perfectly

+1 been doing this for years and never had any problems. nice idea tho

Just got back from a one week trip.
It worked flawless.
I took off the swingarm tie down and just went with the front Baxley tie down and the rear stand tie down.
I think I could have flipped the trailer and the bike would have stayed on.
It takes about 10 minutes to tie it down once the bike is in the Baxley.
For my peace of mind, the best ten minutes I ever spent.
Cheers!
