[QUOTE="sparky3008, post: 38903, member: 611"] Tied down many a dirt bike and street bikes. As Bounce mentioned after this post about compressing the forks when you sit on the bike. That is pretty much how I do it. I usually will sit on it and have someone tighten the straps not much more than what my weight does. This just keeps the bike pretty steady. No need to wrench down on it like superman. This is where breaking bars might start to come in. Personally I never thought about it on my dirt bikes because the bars are different. Even on my cruiser it was a one piece bar. I personally wouldn't trust the FJR bars with a lot of pressure on the forks because of their design and the way they are attached to the triple. Just my 2 cents and adversion I guess. I would perfer doing it lower or directly to the triples somehow but not on the handlebars. [/QUOTE]
