I went with the over the wheel method as promoted by Mike, only I tie down all three wheels. If you have the CASH the Superclamp for Spyders is another way to go, This would be my first choice for all the reasons mentioned in there ad.
YES YOU ARE CORRECT ABOUT THE SUPERCLAMP

I do not understand jeopardizing damage to your $25000 Spyder for a $470 kick azz tie-down. A detachable backrest is over $500, a sport rack is over $400. The Superclamp Spyder tie-downs are simply the safest, easiest way to transport a Spyder. Honestly, straps through the rims or over a-arms is not good for the alignment. How do your rims look after trailering a few times with straps running through them? And we have not even talked about the rear suspension and premature shock damage.:chat:

Dear Sir, I don't put it on the front tires......The strap I use is rated at 3000 lb break strength........And could please explain how preventing your wheel and tire from moving ( any amount ) can possibly damage the RIMS and / or ALIGNMENT..............I and others would be very interested in your explaination...................Anxiously waiting your reply .....Mike :thumbup:
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

The way some trailer manufactures put their tie down points on the corners of their trailers, Some Spyder owner have no choice but to tie down thought the rims and pull tight to the opposite corners (Towing out the wheels) and now they are taking the alignment out. BRP Manual suggest you to tie down through your rims, everyone ties there Spyders down differently also, when you use a Spyder Tie down system there is only 1 way, and there is no wrong way, and lessens the chance of you tying it down the wrong way and possible damage that may occur.
If you read my posts # 7 & 17 you will see you are talking to the wrong person on this ( try TexAmRider Post on this topic ) ........I don't do it the way you are referring to.......Mike :gaah:
