Default Roadglide Trailering?

I am going on a family vacation and the only option to take the bike is to trailer. What is the best way to attach the straps to the roadglide? Any brand or style straps better than others?

I could not get anything to come up using the search feature so that is the reason for the new thread.

I hauled mine to florida and back last fall. I put a pair of tiedowns on the engine guards, just above where my highway pegs attach.I puta second set of tiedowns on thepassenger floorboard brackets.

Heres another option that works for me. I use 18" straps with loops on both ends. I put them over the handlebars but under the cables and wires, letting them hang in the fairing. I use regular straps to secure them to my lift or trailer. In my open trailer, I hook the straps to the hole in the frame under the seat. The bike is going nowhere....
