tiedown help for truck

[motochris]

I will be loading the BUSA into the back of my truck. Was trying to get some input on tiring the front down..I do not have chocks fir front and I do not have time to get one (trucking out to eureka springs in early am) my tiedown brackets are in the botton corners of the bed . I am wondering if there are any suggestions on tie down points in front..try to avoid going high (over plastics) I am trying to avoid rubbing against fairings...if you have pics that would really help. Thanks

You will need to put something infront of the tire, or you'll break the front fender.

Tie down to the lower tripple.

+1 on the fender, I've always tied to the bars, but the lower tree seems much better.

Or you could secure to a large piece of 1" plywood that the bike is also on, but drilling into the bed is best.

Hey Chris,

I have a canyon dancer if you need to borrow one. I'll be away from the keyboard for about half an hour but let me know if you want to borrow them.

When I haul the bike in my truck, I just put the chock in the bed, put the bike in the chock, and tie it down from the rear pegs forward with 4 straps. Never had an issue and i dont tie down the front.
