Planning on trailering my CTX to our new home in Delaware in the near future. I have a HF 4x8 trailer, the HF chock, all the straps and tie downs. I am going to secure the front from just above the triple tree clamp. I tested my soft ties on it today to see where the ratchet straps and/or soft ties might rub on the underside of the fairing. Looks like if I go straight out at 45 degrees from each side that their might be some rubbing. But if I criss-cross the straps it would be clear. Do you think there is any problem with doing the criss-cross or will it be just as secure? Also, would the hand holds work for the back ties or should I use the saddle bag hooks. I was going to just ride the bike down, but I need to get the trailer down there anyway and will be putting some other long, unwieldy stuff on the trailer with the bike.
