Topic: Best way to tie up a four

[lucky]

On tuesday i'm picking up my new baby, a sparking black CB500/4 K1 beauty. (Yes she is a K1  in black with the same lines of a 550 or a 750 k3!)

The bike is some 300 miles away and the weather is forecasted soaking wet so i've decided, much against my initial intention, to strap her on a bikecart and bring her home.
How should i strap her, from the bars or from the lower tree?
I think that one strap per front side plus securing the back wheel to the platform should be enough, shouldnt be?

Have little experience on strapping bikes and wouldnt like to loose my little four on the way home, so give me some advice please

If the strap has a hook and no safety then you MUST wrap the hook with tape! Do not forget. Otherwise the hook can come off when you hit a bump. That can happen even if you have the forks compressed.


Don't find out the hard way that I was right.

It isn't a four, but this is how I got this little baby home.  No straps needed.

Lovely Healey, pitty about the wheels though
