Re: These Tie Downs Are Garbage

I just have some orange ones from Walmart, they have worked good so far. And I leave them in the bed of my truck 24/7 rain or shine.

why would you put a canyon dancer on a stuntbike. the point of those is that it keeps the plastics and triple from getting damaged on a nice motorcycle, but it'll **** your grips up.

the triple tree is a very safe place to strap the front down on, i've done it thousands upon thousands of times and i've never had a bike move. i trust a solid piece of my bike to strap to more than a piece of fabric.

Re: These Tie Downs Are Garbage

I used to strap my SF down by the tripple. Now that I'm full fairing I use the cage and it seems to be working pretty good.
