Prepare your ratchet straps on the front tie downs (near the front tire). Have them already hooked to the carrier, and laid out where you will be able to easily access them.

If I was to load my VTX1800 on a carrier like that, the above is how I would do it. It IS how I do it for my dirt bikes on my hitch carrier (yes I know they weigh less).
