[QUOTE="gixer, post: 599999, member: 24481"] I am with the school you can never use to many straps. I almost lost the bike on a trailer one time so I use every strap in the house. Here is how I do it on mine some might say over kill but I have not lost a bike yet. I usually take my KX125 or XR400 on the rack with no problem. THey do sway some but this can help out to keep that down to a min. This is what I do on a short haul: 1 pair straps up front and 1 pair in the back. I put a slight lean on the bike away from the back of the truck then I take one more strap from the fram and attach it to the hitch and pull her twards the truck till she is straight up and down again. THen check all the staps again to make sure its tight. this keep the bike on there nice. it wobbles a little but its ok. On a long trip I use 1 extra pair of straps and go from the frame right near the foot pegs straight down to the rack this really helps tighten her up more. My buddy has been doing this also on his rack and says its a great idea. Also on both of our racks we have a piece that comes off the 2" bar stock up and then under the bike so you can tighten the bike down on to it. If you can get that on a rack or make it and add it it really helps also. just some ideas. Again think about making one it should cost ya less than 100bucks. Steven [/QUOTE]
