How do I carry a Honda CB175 in a Pickup?

Question

How do I do this? What stuff do I need to carry this bike and where can I buy it?

Answer 1

Two ratchet strap's.

  Put one on each side of the handlebars' and extend them to the stake pockets or any anchor below the bike's shocks. Ratchet the bike down compressing the front shocks around a inch or two. Ratchet the two strap's equally to keep the bike stable. Buy the strap's at any auto store or Wal-Mart type store. Be sure they are long enough.

  I have done this with a Yamaha YZ 250 for years without any problems. If in rough terrain while driving truck, buy a couple more straps and strap down the back of the bike the same way. Straps cost around 10 to 15 dollars a pair. Get good quality ratchet straps when you do. Good luck.

Answer 2

i've strapped down several bikes in my S-10 truck with only a canyon dancer strap

, and two 5 foot medium duty tensile strength "wratchet" straps. don't use the straps that just lock as you pull. Those will eventually slip during transport, while the locking wratchet style gives some ease of mind during transport. i've use this method even for my RC51 often and have no problems. I do compress the forks a little but never overnight if i can't get the bike unloaded. i dont even bother straping down more than just the handle bars, so 2 straps is all you need. if you strap your bikes down right, you don't need more than 2 straps. after securing the front, you don't need to strap the rear. The rear isn't going anywhere.

Answer 3

Buy a ramp and good tie downs. If it is a small truck you may have to leave the tailgate down. So buy good tie downs and use atleast 4 of them.

Answer 4

A if u have any freinds take a couple buddys and lift it in and strap or rope it to hold it upright

B buy a motorcycle trailer and starp or rope it in
