You have a very good point. After I get the chock, I will use the designs I have seen on here, thanks for the tips, and proceed from there. I hope there are suitably spaced tie downs for the rear straps. Until I get the chock in, won't know for sure. The bike is an Electra Glide so the saddle bags may have to be removed during transit. Only takes a minute to do it anyway, but will make a suitable rack for them also. Not interested in damage from straps or bouncing around.
When I had my Road king I just put a rag under the strap on the saddlebag to keep it from rubbing. Just make sure you place the D rings so it pulls the bike forward and wide enough to keep the rear from moving sideways. You can also use the loop straps to secure the frame and not worry about the bags.
