Bike transport

Just out of curiosity
How do you guys ship your bikes around?
I’m looking at heading south in a few weeks with the cruiser and bike to catch up with a good mate of mine.
The Ktm will be on the back for about 16 hours.
Should I use one of those fork braces or will she be ok just strapped down.

Cheers in advance

I dont take mine anywhere without fork braces

[andrewMember]

fork braces are the way to go,,,

but if you are lazy like me I use a device which you just push your bike into and it clamps on your foot pegs
no tie downs needed and you can padlock it to… so security is good. I put a u tube link up on another post not long ago but ill do it here too seen you are interested

$180 US from the US… not too bad. But my questions were answered when I watched this…

Just found that Torpedo 7 used to sell them for $180.

They look pretty good
I’m just looking at the whips one in last months trailzone mag
It looks pretty simple

Sorry I don’t understand…..

Ballards in Penrith I think is at you will find it online

It’s all good
I just got onto the whipps alloy site they got alloy tie down braces for around 50 bucks

Those locandloads look good but I’m not sure I want them permanently attached to the tray of the cruiser, I assume they are bolted in

I havnt seen the whips ones im sure they will be good just make sure if you put it in a ute you get the right brackets to fit the ruts in the floor the brackets that come with it are fine for checker plate floors just ask the sales man
