Here's a pic of my FDLHTI ready to roll with NO STRAPS ! On the trailer and ready in 3 minutes. It takes longer to secure the ramp than the bike, and the bike is MORE secure than the ramp !!!
Maybe so but I couldn't live with all those brackets attached to my frame in plain view....I'll stick to my tie down straps, condor type chock and E-Track.....Maybe 5 minutes to tie down 4 straps......

Those are still straps... Just not the flexible kind. I like the setup. You must have some off road fab experiance or you wouldn't have heim joints laying around....
I hate straps and all they entail. It takes a whole 5 minutes to take the 2 clamps off my down frame whenever I know I'm not going to be trailering anywhere.
It's not for everyone, but neither is the Yamaha FZ6 I have a blast on when I'm not on the Harley !!!
Peace out !
