Motorcycle Tie-Downs

MOTORCYCLE TIE-DOWNS — COMPRESS FORKS, DAMAGE NOTHING

A bike is held by its suspension under tension, and the wrong anchor point bends what it is clamped to. Enter your bike weight for the strap count and where to attach so you are not loading the bars or the chrome.

How Many Straps to Tie Down a Motorcycle on a Trailer? Calculate It

Front forks, handlebars, frame — the anchor points matter as much as the strap count. Know both before you hit the highway.

Enter your motorcycle’s weight and trailer type. The calculator outputs the DOT-minimum strap count and WLL, plus recommended anchor placement.

A motorcycle that falls on a trailer at speed can cause a serious accident. FMCSA §393.106 applies to motorcycles on registered trailers on public roads.

Motorcycle owners, track day haulers, and motorsport event organizers.
