I have to trailer Bike to North Pa. I live eastern PA. The run is 3 Hours where I live. Heres the deal I did a dummy and dropped a log on front fender late fall.(Thank You Captain Morgan) was not riding sitting in garage.
A dude fixed hail damage on my jeep 2-3 years ago. Jeep just got pelted, he popped every hail ding out..... I can not find any I looked.
I have to trailer bike out there. I thought of riding but holy crap its 25 degrees at 8 A.M.
I have a trailer but not sure how to correctly strap it down. I believe there is some type of transport code or whatever you have to enter. Thank you I have to get this ding out its driving me crazy!!2012 Limited........

 

Why not remove the fender and just take that? Probably easier for both of you? They are not that hard to get off?

 

I was going to ask the same thing.... ???

 

Yes that's what I told the dude. I will bring fender out......He prefers it on, he can get his tool in there and use tire as tourque.

 

There's a quote you don't hear too often...lol

 

Those "Paintless Dent Repair" guys are everywhere - I'd look locally before I put over 6 hours of road time in.

 

to answer your question, yes, you do want to put it in transport mode. otherwise your alarm will be going off the whole way and you'll probably have a dead battery when you arrive.

follow the steps below, pretty easy actually.

 

I agree. I'd only drive that far if I was getting a complete paint job from a kick azz painter. It might be time to get a new front fender. Maybe a wrap around or a CVO style.

 

If you need to trailer the bike that far, look at your owner's manual or look it up online in the PDF file it will tell you how to put it in transport mode, however, moving the bike around may need to change back to regular mode for the guy to do his work.

Best way to strap down is to strap to the frame, and I think the crash bars. Don't put straps around the handle bars and ratchet it down, you could cause costly aggravation with the damage to the bars, head etc. I learned this the wrong way personally on a different bike.

Depending on your city, you could also google dent repair, hail damage, mobile bodywork etc, there maybe someone willing to come to your house for the same cost as time and transportation to this person.

 

I have an 08 Ultra. I've never done anything when trailering. Just leave the fob on the bike. (Still using the original battery.)
