New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
I use Ancra cam buckle straps (rather than ratchet straps) attached to the bike with soft-ties. I once picked up some off brand cam buckle straps and they weren't very good so have only bought Ancra since. https://ancracargo.com/red-cam-buckle-tie-down-4-pack
I’ve had buckle straps come loose when trailering bikes. Never had a ratchet strap do so.
For those times I have to trailer a bike, I always use ratchet straps from the hardware store. I was curious if there was anything better for that application that you guys use.Thanks,-AJ
I dislike the release of ratchet straps under tension. All or nothing. Release and the strapped item goes flying if it is under spring pressure. Good cam straps allow for gentle or partial controlled release.Patrick HayesFremont CA
When you guys say "soft ties" what do you mean? I've always just used the hooks on the ratchet strap to some mounting point on the bike, with a lot of reservation.-AJ
Double loops $4 for a 4-pack at HF. These allow a place to connect the tie down hook without the steel hook connected directly to the motorcycle.
I will check into these. Thanks! I'll also look into the cam buckle straps. Maybe use a combination.Thanks for the suggestions.-AJ
