    How would you strap down a Suzuki Burgman on a trailer?

    Awesome, finally someone with experience to answer the original question. Do us a favor and post the description and pictures on BurgmanUSA.com as well.

    When did you say you trailered a Burgman again?

    That's exactly how I trailered my Majesty. After I crashed it :)

    You are right. I used the term "redundancy" wrong - I should have written "redundant" instead. English is not my first language so feel free to sue me. As for where what was tied to, I don't need you to tell me because I was the one who tied it. I don't have to believe you because I have real...

    How would you strap down a Suzuki Burgman on a trailer?

    That would be correct if the blue one wasn't holding the spokes from the other side :). The green strap was proven to be redundant and I didn't use it again. Note that even the blue one is not a heavy duty ratchet strap. Not because I didn't have one but because it wasn't necessary. That wheel...

    How would you strap down a Suzuki Burgman on a trailer?

    My front green strap pulls the front wheel towards the front, but it's just a redundancy. The setup would be fine without it. My front blue strap is pulling the fork forward and slightly down. It can be anchored lower, but that wheel isn't going anywhere. The rear red strap is another...

    Every setup that results in a bike delivered to the destination in the same position and without a scratch is a good one. Mine has been proven rock solid for Burgman 650, which is a theme of this thread. Your mileage with your particular bike and your particular trailer may and will vary.

    Are you going to say what your problem with that setup is or you just like to piss on other people's experience? Ever trailered a Burgman? I didn't think so.

    Dude, there are so many hundreds of Kilometers with that rigging that I don't give a damn where you want to start :)

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Mark your calendar for the annual National Range Day, June 6th. An excellent opportunity to introduce people to firearm sports. Very well organized, safe and fun event is held at many shooting ranges in Ontario and there is something for everyone, from airsoft and BB guns to archery to various...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Cool :). I crossed the border once on my Bandit (1200) with a handgun and a rifle in the top case. The US border guard checked my Form6, took a good look at the bike and asked "Where the hell is your rifle?". I told him it's a takedown and he asked to see it (I'm sure he would have otherwise...

    You can also get a UHaul trailer and transport the bike yourself.

    Shipping motorcycle from Montreal to Mississauga

    Try UShip.com I had very good experience shipping my motorcycles long distance and from some pretty out-of-the-way places. Shippers compete for your business instead of the other way around.

    :) Maybe my opinion would be different if I tried the flat one, but the one I have does the job perfectly well.
