I searched fork-savers and found some for dirt bikes. Can you show us one that will work with a street bike?
I trailered my bike for an 11 hr ride this week. I had to compress the front forks all the way to bottom to keep it from bouncing the straps loose. I didnt compress it all the way at first, only to have the straps loosen after only 20 min. of driving. My air forks dont hold air at all, so no worries of damaging the seals.
I would use no less than 4 ratchet tie downs. If I had, the bike would have fallen over when the front straps came loose.
I do plan to fix the air forks, so if I trailer it again I would be interested in a fork saver.
