Have a look at this link for tieing down a 1200GS on a trailer. http://www.ascycles.com/pdf/Tiedown2.pdf I used the same principlles and tie down points and followed their advice exactly ie no tie downs to the handlebars (the hand protectors are in the way) when I travelled across on the Aratere in Jan. I took my own ratchet straps as they work a lot better and one can get better tension. i also followed the advice in the Motorcycle Atlas of NZ re putting bike in gear etc. Alternatively strap the front hand brake on. The Aratere ran out of straps anyway and some guys had to use rope. Not ideal.Richard
