Go to the HF website and search on "quick link"
I use the two biggest links but then again am strapping down an 850 pound FatBoy. |

I like this idea so much, I will be doing this to all my straps except for my snap-on set.

I have used large heavy duty carabiners through the top loop on the original hook and onto the anchor point instead of using the other end of the hook.
I don't like to crank the suspension down a lot, and with the carabiners there's no chance of a big bump slacking the straps and having the hook drop off of the anchor point. Screw-type "chain connectors" from the hardware store would work as well. Cheap and easy to fit. It has worked well for years. |

For the small loads and tensions involved in tying down a motorcycle, everything mentioned in this thread so far is likely okay, but technically some of it isn't kosher if it were being done at a place of work. |

I'm just strapping down dirt bikes, but that would be a better method. |

Also converting my little trailer to carry two bikes. Weld up all corners and devise a trailing-arm suspension to lower it and shave some weight. Connect trailing-arms with torsion-bar in between to provide anti-roll function... |

I use the short double loop straps where I don't want to scratch things to bad. Strapping down a bike for transport always seems cause some scratching or paint rubs. I took some heavy strap material to a local marine canvas shop. I had him sew the loops in using heavy thread. He was used to doing as he is always attaching straps to boat tops. Cheap, quick and have never has a problem with breakage.
The Harley has a good strap down points, the Hondas and the Kawasaki leave a little to be desired. |
