The bike weighs close to 800 lbs. Any decent set of tie downs should work. You should look for tiedowns with coated hooks and rachets. I have found some very resonably priced motorcycle/atv tie down sets at Walmart & Target.

It's hard to trust a $23,000 motorcycle to a $4 tiedown strap.
Northern Tool may have some better ones. Again, you get what you pay for.

Ratchet tie downs work if you use them wisely, but *NEVER* use 'em on anything but a hard point! I've seen 'em break handlebars, & tear bolted parts off bikes. Wanna see something funny/scary? Watch a friend try to control a hotrod bike with handlebars that have broken between the clamps after he used ratchet tie downs..........Gettin' him back to the campground was an exercise in "impromptu engineering".
