I also compress the forks by strapping the bars with a canyon dancer.
Careful with the canyon dancer on some touring bikes (like goldwings) they don't work! Pulls the handle bars down; anyone want one cheap? Only used about 100 miles.
Tighten your bar clamp...and don't pull so hard on the strap...Wife's HD had the same problem...that solved it.
you could be right, just scared the******out of me when the bars were almost on the tank :h Also found out after the fact that Honda does not recommend using either the bars or the crash bars to tie down. I don't understand the crash bar restriction as they are designed to hold up the weight of the bike.
