Success! I slipped soft tie loops just above the lower fork bar and used that as the primary front tie/compression then put the canyon dancers on with some light tension to help stabilize the handlebars, tied down the rear using the passenger peg mounts and had to put some cardboard under the rear tire as it was sitting right on a horizontal ridge on the tailgate that would have put all the pressure on one small spot on the tire. Took squareheads advice: checked the straps after 20 miles, then every 200. Bike never budged, one side just needed to be tightened a click or two after about 400 miles. Most nerve wracking part was unloading it down this 10" wide steel ramp my friend had. I may not sleep all night after trying to carefully navigate that thing. Pics to come tomorrow!
