Selecting the appropriate tie-downs for your motorcycle during transportation is crucial to guaranteeing both security and safety. It can be difficult to decide which tie-downs are right for you when there are so many options out there. This tutorial will assist you in selecting the appropriate motorcycle tie-downs for your vehicle by explaining the various types of tie-downs.
Because they are adjustable and have a firm grip, ratchet straps are a common option for fastening down motorcycles. A selection of high-quality ratchet straps are available from Acebikes, such as the Ratchet Premium Deluxe, which gives large motorcycles with a load capacity of up to 900 daN a firm grip. For larger bikes, such as Harley Davidsons these straps are perfect.
Cam buckle straps are a great choice for anyone who would rather a quicker and easier way to secure something. With strong locking clips and robust PES webbing, Acebikes Cam Buckle Pro provides additional security. For medium-sized motorcycles or scooters, these straps are ideal.
Handlebar tie-downs, such as Acebikes’ Buckle-Up, are made to secure the bike’s bodywork while protecting it from damage. It is an excellent option for bikes with delicate finishes because of the incorporated fake sheepskin sleeve, which guards against scratches. Keep in mind that if your motorcycle has mud guards the buckle-up won’t work for you.
Acebikes provides an open axle tie-down system called CapStrap for motorcycle models with hollow axles, such as BMW bikes. This device keeps the bike firmly in place without putting undue strain on the suspension.
Another specialized solution is the TyreFix, which is perfect for securing the rear wheel of your motorcycle during transport. It ensures that your bike stays in place without movement or damage. This system is particularly useful for sports bikes and other models with varying tire sizes.
When securing your motorcycle, it’s crucial to stabilize both the front and rear of your bike. For optimal safety use either four straps or a combination of two straps with a specialized tie-down, like the Capstrap or TyreFix to ensure your bike remains fully secured during transit.
Remember the extra accessories that may enhance your tie-down system’s security. You can add additional attachment points to your motorcycle without having to worry about damaging its bodywork thanks to products like Acebikes Loops Pro.
Selecting the appropriate motorcycle tie-downs is essential for secure and safe transportation. With so many options available from Acebikes, you can carry everything from a hefty touring bike to a lightweight scooter.
