hi cookie,looking at the trailer pic ,i think the bike could do with moving forward a bit more so there is more weight on the hitch,also i compress the bikes suspension as much as possible because the bike moving up and down can unhook the tiedowns,great looking bike thoCookie said:Thanks,
I hope she still looks like that on the return trip. A couple of my friends have terrible trailer stories and I'm never really comfortable until it is back down.

hi swoosh, i did,nt notice the center stand, thats a definite no no ,swooshdave said:chris plant said:Cookie said:Thanks
Look carefully, he has the centerstand down. And he's lashed the tiedowns around the frame and triple clamps. Or at least that's what it appears to look like.
Personally I wouldn't want to put that much strain on the centerstand (even with a sprung trailer). But for a short trip it probably wasn't too bad.
Cookie said:That's interesting, you guys think the center stand will beat up the frame? I've only hauled a bike on a trailer twice. I always had a truck until recently and I just tied them to the inside body wall. She made the 7.14 mile trip in one piece but it could have been better. In order to put the stand dwon up there I'd have to rig some way to hold it up until I got the straps on it.
