Mods please move as you see fit. I just could not figure out where to put this? Next week I am heading to Georgia to pic up two '85 Honda Interceptors. One is a complete bike that is a project and the other is a low mile original. I am doing this for a buddy who happens to be overseas at the moment but couldn't pass these up. My question/concern is that, after viewing the pics I do not see good tie down points from the bars unless I go almost almost laterally straight out. Maybe canyon dancers? Anyone have any experience with this bike? Worst case scenario I will pull the fairings, but that comes with it's own issues. Any thoughts appreciated!
You are bringing back memories! I had a VF1000R Interceptor. Gear driven cams, V4. I love the sound of that engine. I'd go with the canyon dancers.
Tie down loops around the lower fork tree/clamp. Run the loop through itself and then hook the tie down to the loop. Have done this many times. Good luck M
No clue on how to tie down that bike.......I had a 1999 Honda VFR Interceptor for 11 years. Ran like a sewing machine. Traded it in for an equally enjoyable (so far) 2012 BMW r 1200 GS. Just sayin
Absolutely! I agree... I would also suggest letting the front tire down to 20-25psi. It'll hold it's form, absorb bumps and provide a rigid, safe tie-down. Tight enough to cause slight/moderate tire deformation, once the front tire pressure is reduced a bit, seems to work amazingly well. You can go 4wheelin', er, 6 wheelin' and all will be fine...
Cover the bike because it's so wicked other drivers and bike freaks will drool and day dream about owning one possibly causing them to drive off the road or into you while trying to get a closer look.
Cycle Gear has Trackmasters wheel chock/clamps that I used last December to move a Z1000 and Concours1400. Both on/in trailers. No issues. I bought two when they had them at half price of $75 each. Sales are frequent so keep checking if there is a store near you. If you get one, the tie down over the frame behind the steering stem to the wheel clamp hoops is key. Use ratchet type tie down here.
