track day, bike tie down

Fossi · Post by **Fossi** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:00 pm

Guys,

I'm doing my first track in Jan 2012 and want to know the best way to tie down my bike on the trailer. I can tie down from the forks but i've seen these tie downs that go around the handlebars and grips then pull down, are they any good...? I want to avoid marking my plastics.

Any feedback would be great, thanks.

Get a tyre down that goes over the rear wheel. Around $150 but well worth the money your bike will go nowhere and you won't do any damage compressing the forks for a long period of time.

Monkey straps or whatever they are called.

Best way is a trailer mate from one of our ksrc sponsors Kaneg, a rear tyre strap like a "tyredown" then you wont need to strap the front down.

I also have a tyredown that I no longer use that i could sell you if you wanted to save some more money.

If he doesn't want it Nelso I've got a mate that will buy it off you. How much do you want for it?
