Im putting the grom in my van. I placed the hooks right in front of the rear foot pegs on each side and anchored them behind the rear tjre.. I put one more strap thru the fron rim and anchored it to a point forward of the bike. Im a newbie to tie downs. Do u think this 3 point systm should work.

Btw, I tightened down just enough to take most of the weight off the kickstand. But it still leans left. I did that in case any of the straps came loose ane hopefully it would find the kickstand.

Does anyone see a problem with this approach? I thought about strapping each handlebar to the ceiling of the van using the top of the seat belt anchors.

be careful strapping anything to the pieces of the rear foot pegs.. i have seen a few people who used that area as anchor points and it broke.. i put a strap on both side of the handlebar and then one on the rear tire when i had it strapped to a rack for the back of my jeep..

Thx for the update. I just a video on that for the msx125 where they snapped. My spot is an inch or 2 closer to the front of the bike than the rear footpeg is on the arm which looks a littke thicker then where they did it. However, I may reconsider that b4 I start my trip in the morning.

mainly, 2 strong ones on the front, in a x pattern, (as in make the left side strap attach to the right side of the bike). and most importantly, push the forks down while ratcheting. no need for anthing on the rear unless you plan on jumping the van over railroad tracks or something like that

Eurobeaner is right. two good ties on the handle bars will work fine. I have hauled them all in all kinds of vehicles, and good ties on the front will do. You can get Canyon Carvers at your local bike shop or on your trip.
They work fine on mine, either on the trailer or the carrier on the back of the wagon. Good luck..
