I know..thats why I'm asking! lol I have been looking at other bikes too to take on my travels. However, none of them are as good at 2 up as my wing. I also have a kawasaki concours, that would be about 200lbs lighter, but harder to strap down.
My 2004 Connie travels with us often in my enclosed trailer. I have a front wheel chock, soft straps going to the lower triple trees and single soft strap going through the rear wheel. The straps on the front are anchored about 3' apart and pull the bike forward and down into the chock - They do not need so tight that they bottom the suspension (I probably have about 1" of compression). The single rear strap pulls backwards and keeps the rear wheel from shifting sideways. I used to use soft straps on each passenger foot peg but found I only need the one in back.
