trailer tie down and fork compression
#10
The only suggestion beyond those already mentioned I have is to emphasize that you should not use tiedowns on the back frame... any "snuggling down" of them will surely bend the frame... even a little... and throw off frame alignment... Rather... very lightly snug down the back wheel by wrapping the tie down around the wheel from each side at same point on wheel(close to tire contact with trailer bed) & secure the hook ends onto the U-Haul anchor loops on side or back of trailer bed... again... it takes next to no "snuggling" of the tiedowns on back of frame to misalign the frame... don't ask me how I know... oh... and of course... you might want to use some "duc tape" to close the open hooks on the front tie downs so they do not "jump" out of the anchor rings on the trailer bed when the forks compress as you are traveling & hit bumps or go over railroad tracks etc... again... from lesson learned,,,ENJOY YOUR CB1100 NEW RIDE!HelloClap
