Re: Trailering

[Paul Master <masterps@xxxxxxxx>]

1) You shouldn't have to worry about this.
When you tie down the front end, the wheel isn't going
anywhere. Make sure you get a decent set of tie downs.
Orchard supply has a wide range, don't get the cheapies.
2) If you tie down the forks WAY too much, perhaps,
but if you just cinch them down, no worries.
3) No
4) Get a strap that goes across the handlebars that
keeps the tie downs off the fairing.
5) Look at the accessories on http://www.triumphnet.com/st/acc/index.htm
under trailers. (Eric, this doesn't seem to be
working at the moment).
6) Have a great time.
