Strapping the bike

[captain]

I am really wanting to put the busa into the back of the Van when I go to the bash. Can someone tell me how much I will lower the entire bike if I strap the front and rear. I almost have it where it will fit into the van.

You could also pop off the wind screen if you didnt already!

Cap, Do you need to lower the bike to get it in the back door? Was going to say pull the windshield as suggested. PD busa hauls two busas in the back of a van, you may PM him and ask. Also, the Baxley sport chock is the bomb. Just two straps on the rear pegs and your good to go.

I have to get the bike in the van before I can use the baxley.. I have to get the thing in the door first... Im within an inch or two of having this working.... Man you want to talk about making it nice, no trailer.

The strap will drop the front like 4-5 inches. Just push down while holding the front brake and pull with the other hand. You can strap the back also to get your bike into a vehicle.

Perfect, I only need about 1 inch to get it in through the door. I can take the straps off once I get to the bash....

Length wise the bike will fit, I will have a headlight close enough for me to pet on the way...

+1 Cap. Also, it should cinch down 2-3 inches.

I bet the front fender will make a good arm rest.

once inside the van release it as much as you can without making it loose...

another member blew out his fork seals while strapped down heading to daytona.

there's really no need to do more than hold it in the chock.

If it's a full size chevy van, it will slide right in. Even with a Puig D/B. Just get the ramp as level as possible.

I had no problem rolling mine into my van to bring it home. Its a ford 12 passenger club wagon.

I will be driving a 93 astro van, not quite as large...

 

[captain]

Thats not the exact van either, just one I pulled off the Internet
