RE: Tie Down Straps
I agree my Bike looks like his when Tied
ORIGINAL: woosh
Ratchet type for me, I just don't trust the cam type when I tie down $20,000 worth of bike. Just my opinion though.

ratchets only. havn't lost anything yet due to the pull/cam types but not for them trying to dump whatever i'm tying downby loosening up.always check my junk and the ratchets always stay tighter.

Gotta go with the ratchet straps. I work in construction and I tie down hundreds and hundreds of pounds with just 2 ratchet straps on my F250. They have a rated 300 pounds per strap and can strap down tighter than any cam buckle strap.

RE: Tie Down Straps
HIJACK!
Is there any sort of clamp and hook for the bars or a hook I can install somewhere on my RKC so I can tie it into my toyhauler with out damage to the chrome?
On my dirt bikes I dont care about scratches and just hook to the handle bars. That aint gonna fly on the King.

Get a set of soft hooks, they're called something like that. If you go to a dealer that sells crotch rockets they'll sell them, as they're the only way to transport a full fairing bike. They look likea figure 8 loop and you just look that around and hook your tie down to that. And I always use rachet straps on the front, then a set of cam buckle on the back.

RE: Tie Down Straps
I have a set of those (soft hooks). My guess is those would still scuff the chrome on the bars etc.
I was thinking of a permanent clamp on thing with an eye for my strapsto hookthrough. Maybe I'll need to waterjet a set of my own.
