How to Use Motorcycle Straps and Tie-Downs

Secure Your Ride the Right Way

When you’re hauling your motorcycle, whether it’s a street bike, dirt bike, or a dual sport, you want confidence that your tie-down setup is dialed. Using the right straps isn’t just about convenience it’s about keeping your bike safe and stable on the road.

Here’s everything you need to know about using different motorcycle straps and tie-downs to lock in your setup like a pro.

Why Quality Tie-Downs Matter

Cheap straps might save a buck, but they’ll cost you big if they fail on the highway. A solid tie-down system prevents shifting, tipping, or rubbing that could damage your bike or trailer. SpeedStrap’s tie-downs are designed for serious riders who don’t take chances when it comes to transport.

Soft-Tie + Ratchet Combo: Ultimate Hold, No Scratches

One of the most versatile tools in your tie-down kit is the 1″ x 15′ Ratchet Tie-Down w/ Snap S-Hooks and Soft-Tie. This strap is built for power, but with a soft touch.

How to use:

  • Wrap the Soft-Tie around your handlebar or triple tree to avoid direct hook contact with your bike’s frame.

  • Attach Snap S-Hooks to secure anchor points on your trailer or truck bed.

  • Crank the Ratchet until the strap is taut no need to overtighten. You want the bike to stay firm but not stressed.

Why Riders Love It:

  • Integrated soft-tie to prevent scuffs

  • Snap hooks that won’t pop loose

  • Extra-long 15’ length for flexibility

  • Heavy-duty ratchet for secure tightening

Pro Tips for Safe and Secure Hauling

  • Always use four points of contact (two front, two rear).

  • Check your straps after the first few miles things can settle.

  • Never loop a hook directly onto painted or delicate parts.

  • Use wheel chocks or blocks for extra stabilization on long hauls.
