I'm new to everything as I've just retired. Purchased a 2002 Holiday Rambler Neptune pusher and had a cruiserlift motorcycle holder for the back of the RV. But I can't figure out how to strap the Kymco down. Where do I hook the straps on the kymco. Everything looks like it's plastic and I don't want to hook a strap to the handle with the speed control that rotates. Thanks for your help.

I can tell you this will be an opinion based reply by many....
I use straps around the lower fork section. Also you can buy motorcycle handlebar straps and they should slide right behind the plastic ( I have done this with my old unit) Also some people buy the wheel lock on the lift and just tie the front tire to the lift and the rear they go up inside the unit.

Use handlbar specific cinch straps up front and consider using the rear rider pegs to strap down the back.

Yep it's handlebar straps and I'd run a ratchet strap on the two bars for the rear box and I would also run another one thru a wheel to the platform the bike sits on so there's no chance for it to roll

My carrier has a clamp for the front wheel however I still strap both wheels. It only takes a few extra moments however I have put on many thousands of miles over some pretty rough roads without a single mishap or close call. Just be mindful that most luggage racks are only rated for 10 or 20 lbs while the pegs are designed to support the full weight of a rider over rough terrain. |
