Title: tying down a 150
Post by: peopleperson on August 26, 2012, 07:46:55 PM

I'm going to try to transport my scooter on the back of my motor home.  But I'm concerned about tying it down on  the plastic  carrier on the back.  Is there a better place to fasten the rear tie-downs?

I put a set of Soft-Ties around the two front mounting bolts between the luggage rack and body and tied down from there.  For the Handlebars, I used a Bar Harness #2, made for sportbikes.  Much better than tying directly to the grips.   Links below for illustration of described products.
