This is very true. When my 2023 GW had to be towed to the shop, because the transmission went out with only 23 miles on it, I told the driver after watching Max’s video, not to tie down by the handlebar but he saw no other choice, so he tied it down very loosely. That’s all it took. Even the rear lower tie downs were done very lightly. Now I got those tie downs installed at the front.

So awesome!!!! I dont tie my front down on my wing at all when I trailer with the my front tire in the wheel chock, I tie the rear down pulling forward against the wheel chock, theres no way that bike is going anywhere unless the trailer is thrown 50' in the air. I dont have my rear that tight just so it stays put is plenty and still has plenty suspension. I posted it on a forum with a picture and wow did some people come unglued saying I am not a safe person cause my bike doesnt have front tie downs on it and I should have my license taken away even though its an enclosed trailer. Stupid people. Great job Max

Good Evening Max, thanks for the video; unfortunately not everyone is mechanically minded. I know you are very busy, but when you get a quiet day and have a customer bike in the shop who trailered his bike in, maybe you could do a video and demonstrate how the Goldwing should be lashed down on a trailer. There are some videos out there but a video coming from Traxxion Dynamics would hold a lot more weight. Can you really do a suspension upgrade in half a day? Cheers.

I used to move bikes from the auctions and carried 12to 15 bike at one time. Never bottomed out the susp. never had one bike damaged.. Oh wait Did have a 1" strap break one time. but that was a worn out strap I was stuck with...thanks Turtle!!

Max, I have trailered my 2020 Goldwing by using 2 soft ties wrapped around the front large round Steering Yoke and ratcheted to the point of compressing the Front Tire a bit. Towards the rear I also used 2 Soft Ties attached to the Frame after removing the side covers. I realize that the front suspension shock/spring is not being compressed but the tire is. Is this acceptable... what say you? Thanks!
@Traxxion
4 ай бұрын
Yes, about 90%... You need to be careful not to have the strap drop down in the gap between the control arm and the big round head you mention. The bearings have seals there, and it is possible they might be damaged. But not certain, I'd have to study it. The price is right though!
