Any suggestions on tie down straps?

[stevenolts]

I just completed a long bike ride and I think I had the bike set up fairly good for travel. I am now looking back to see what I could have done better.

One think I need is better tie down straps. Any suggestions on tie down straps?

I also need to get the Helibars to put me further back on the bike against the Mustang built in backrest.

Steve , I simplified my life by purchasing retractable ratchet straps from Powertye. I bought the length I needed and what little extra there is retracts back into the mechanism. No wasted time trying to tie off 5 ft of strap. Be sure and get the safety hooks so they can't come off if the bike flexes. If you need more info PM me.

For me, nothing better than Rokstraps cargo hd 25

I have been looking at the Rok Strips and was almost ready to order. I am glad you guys like them!!!
I just hate the idea of something unsecured on the bike.

One more endorsement for Rok Straps. I have been using them for two years and they are the most versatile tie downs I have found

And me like a dumbazz I was thinking bike tie downs so disregard the post above. For tie downs on the bike I've been using NiteIZE adjustable bungee cords with a safety hook. The adjustable feature let's you customize the length to whatever you need.

Love my ROK straps---got 4 sets of the small and large.

Also got a bunch of the NiteEyz equipment ties also. I keep a few of different lengths in the bag. They are the most handy things for around the house and keeping charger cords and other things organized.

I was right there with you, mate.
Tie-downs anchor the bike to a trailer.
Cargo straps are just that: for cargo.

Of course, he did say he had just completed a long ride - not a long trailer.....
