Effective strapping and padding techniques involve using wide, soft straps to avoid damaging your motorcycle’s frame or bodywork. Secure the bike using a wheel chock and tie-down straps, attaching them to the front forks and rear suspension. Ensure the bike is stable and upright, avoiding overly tight straps that can cause stress points. Use padding around contact areas to prevent scratches and damage. I once used thin straps that left marks on my bike, so wider, padded ones are a better choice. Regularly check the straps during the journey to ensure everything stays secure.
