Default RE: tie down in trailer

In the Front, we tie to the frame, at the intersection of the engine guards and the frame.

At the back, we use the lower bag guard.

A four point mount is the most stable, however, some perfer to only tie the front down. If you are making a multi-day trip, at the end oof each day, let the pressure off o fthe front forks. But remeber to tighten the straps each moring.

thanks for the input. my dealer told me to connect near the fork brace just below the fairing and right at the brake lines I was afraid it may hurt the brake lines but hooked it up anyway,but my last trip was a disaster when the bike tipped over and broke my mirror. I see you are from Charlotte I live in High Point thanks again for the help.
