If you mean a way to secure the bike on the trailer, I used to strap my bike in with two...well...straps, that fastened to both the handle bars and any sort of hook or loop on the bed of the truck. We used to have convenient little loops in the base of the bed and it was really no problem at all, but I can imagine putting a car and a bike together would be a bit more difficult. Let me see if I can link you real quick. http://www.uscargocontrol.com/motorc...eb9150c5a73632 These are similar to what I used to have, and have a 2500lb break limit. Look alright to me, but take a look yourself. Hope this helps a bit! -Andy __________________  | | | | | 02-11-2009, 12:58 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Seattle Posts: 181 |

My dad has a cbr 1000. Don't remember if it was a 07 or 08. He had to down grade from a hayabusa because he said it had way to much power for him. He still thinks the cbr is too much. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Why are you buying a 600RR across the country? They're like a dime a dozen.
As far as securing it down, I highly suggest the Cycle Cinch over a canyon dancer. The latter will mash your grips and can break pods, especially over extensive travel. If you can jam the front tire against something, that will really help keep it upright.
You can also ship it; Eagle1 Express and Motorcycle Shippers both do fine.
Still, really not sure why you're shipping it. If it were a rare bike, I could understand. __________________

Omg, that bike is evil! I like it! My dad's bike:  His first and last mod, he lowered it. My photoshopping skills made it look nicer than what it is  __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

damn he must be 5'2" That bike is short enough as it is stock. Most comfortable out of all the 600's though. It truly is an awesome bike. does he still ride? | | | | | 02-11-2009, 06:47 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |
He just lowered the rear. He doesn't like how the end sits up high. And he's actually 5'3" And the bike looks much better with the rear lowered. The 1000 has the rear sitting up much much higher than the 600. Go to your honda dealership and you'll see. The 600 is mild. So now his bike is probably equivalent to a 600, if not, slightly higher. The funny thing is, lowering a bike is a crap load easier than lowering a car. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Bike looks good. I love Honda when it comes to bikes. I used to ride Honda dirtbikes when I was younger and Honda only. Their bikes will last you a lifetime. Good luck with the buy, transportation, and future riding. I will get a bike one day when I have enough money. haha __________________

When I was younger, and about 5'4" I used to ride dirt bikes (36" seat height) no problem, you just have to do it all from one leg. The problem with lowering a bike (especially just the rear end) is that your suspension geometry changes. Off the top of my head, increasing the rake and trail should make it turn slower, turn-in slower and is more susceptible to headshake during acceleration. I generally tell people that it's better in the long run to learn to ride a bike in its stock form since it doesn't introduce those problems and makes other things much easier such as test-riding new bikes, renting, etc. Just throwing some pennies out there. __________________

My 5'0" sister rides a 800 Intruder. Its all a matter of how low you can make the bike.
Strap the thing down in the front & back removing 80% of the suspension travel.
If your going that far, please get a front wheel chalk! I've seen them fall over, don't let it happen to you. __________________
