The stars may align and allow me to purchase a Hayabusa this year, just in time, it would seem, (should the rumors be true), to avoid the mess that 2019 somewhat promises to be. 
Anyway, I'm probably going to be buying from a non-local dealer, and since I'm not fond of break-in on the highway, I'll be trailering the new 'Busa home. Only problem is, my trailer has somewhat narrow rails, and I'm not entirely sure the rear tire will fit in the rail. (It's a floor-optional triple-rail design). I'm handy enough with metal, so I can probably modify the rail to make it work, but before I do, I thought I'd ask if someone would be kind enough to measure the tire as it is mounted, as I think it might be slightly different than the 7.48" that 190mm translates to.

You need to build pressure behind Piston rings to seat them properly. 
I like to compress the forks a bit while strapping it. It has to have some suspension movement so I just lay over the seat as I'm pulling the straps. I've done this four times on freeways and over steep mountain roads, with just straps, no wheel chock or slotted rails.
