Casper Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I want to see how I can tie my Daytona down without using Canyon Dancers. Anybody have one I can load my bike on for a few minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ratchet straps above the lower fork clamp, around the forks. That's my hope but I don't think the tie downs are in a place that will allow that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 the trs does not have to go behind the tire, it works in front of tire also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 you also do not need to use factory holes in trs mount. Can drill new holes closer in to meet width requirements. Two can be on without trailer ext Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Maybe he should ride his sport-tourer race bike, then. Wife doesn't really ride anymore, and I won't ride with a passenger. That means if I'm taking the bike on a trip with the wife, I need to trailer. Also, certain trips like the fishing shack trips aren't fun to ride home from.

Bad324 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Baxley, or Condor, and come off the frame. Two solid, quality straps is all you need. EK-USA sells the ones I use. They're $50/pair and have spring clips to keep the hooks attached to the anchors. Two. Straps. Done.Baxley for sure.

max power Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I use soft straps on my lower triple.They would still pull apart the lower plastics when pressure was put on them. The lower triples are too far up inside to do it safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 They would still pull apart the lower plastics when pressure was put on them. The lower triples are too far up inside to do it safely.It might be possible if the angle was more downward. The problem we had was where the bike sat on your trailer. I think less of an outward angle might work. But that's the issue with the Kendon trailer. The tie down points are spread out, so I think I might have the same issue with a Kendon. I really like the Pit Bull restraint systems, but I need a trailer I can stand up in the garage. Otherwise I need to find a place to store it. If a Kendon won't work, I may just look into finding a cargo van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 The tie down points have to be spread out to a point that the bike won't just flop over when turning. If you pull straight down on them it wouldn't take much to lay er down on its side. I like the creeper van idea. It will help when your friends need help moving also.
