Quick help

I have absolutely no idea as building things is not my thing. However! If you need any advice on shopping... I'm your girl! :p

Bro, I don't know... Look good but I have some concern. I don't want you to end up with a 470 lbs projectile the first time you need to hammer the brake in traffic.

I wasn't going to say anything but if I do so I won't be a friend. At the minimum I will strongly suggest you to put the bike all the way to the front corner and tie it up to the wall. You need to compress the front suspension a bit. Tie it up to the handle bars.

I see all sort of bad things ready to happen. Take care Bro and have a safe move.


Very true! Did not even think about it. Even with boxes around it, it WILL move/slide. Need some way to block it up.
 
It might work, but I see alot of things I would do differently. I would put the Straps out wider and also forward to the floor. Your load always goes forward and pulling it into the chock would be ideal.

I have mine loaded up in the trailer right now, ready to head your direction. I'll go see if I can snap a couple of pics to see what works for me. Mines in a trailer, but principles are the same.
 
Well, I do plan to secure the frame to the truck to keep any movement to a minimum.

I know you are trying to conserve space, but I'd rather you have to become creative and tie the straps wide. Even if that means screwing an additional board 2' out on each side. There isn't much lateral support when going almost straight down.

Also, don't pack any pillows or blankets on/around it. Any little vibration from going down the road can wear spots on the paint. One guy at the dealership brought his bike in with a sheet on it. It was sickening when he uncovered it.

Here's what I'm working with.

Im excited for you and the move man. Your planning the move for your bike well :)
 
We're on the road. Bike hasn't budged in the truck. Kinda pissed that the truck is governed at 55 mph! Gonna take way longer than anticipated. If we don't stop and sleep somewhere, it'll be about 4 am before we get to Indy. I'll update you guys when I think we might be into town.

Drove straight through and made it to Indy! Now to sleep for a few hours before unloading the truck.
