Default Tie down

Does any one have any pic on the proper way of tieing down an Ultra on a trailer?

For the front, use soft ties on the forks, and check Kuryakyn's latest: "tear drop" brackets. They bolt onto each side of the front forks. These keep you from using the handle bars &/or engine guards. Avoid using the saddle bag rails. They bend easily. Take off the bags & tie into the base of the shocks & the rear wheel. Better yet, ride the bike to where ever you're going. Just kidding. Sometimes it just makes sense to trailer. I do it from time to time in the winter to get away from the cold until I get to where it's warm. Trailer safe !!!
