Cold lake Alberta | If everything goes right I will pick up my 09 tour premium on 28 Dec.
Is there a spot to hook on the front tie downs inside the front, like trough the engine cowling somewhere forward to the wal where the front hook are in the trailer I am using?
I suspect i can use the rear tip overs to snug down the back.?

Memphis | There's a big ring right under the HID light. The Vision also ships from the factory with two eye-bolts screwed into the front tip-overs. Make sure the dealer gives you those for additional tie-downs, you will use them again someday. I keep mine with the bike just in case I get into a towing situation so the ape strapping the bike down doesn't try to strap to my handlebars. Rear tip-overs for the back. |

| Like Songfan said but beware the rear tipovers would have to be tied forward. They are open on the back and a strap could slip off. I think page 6 or 8 of the owners manual has a nice illustration of strapping the bike down. Should be a spare manual in the trunk at least I did.
Enjoy your new ride. |

| I made it back and forth to Daytona this year.
Used the ring under the headlight. Make sure you bring a cloth to cover the front fender.
Hooks in the tip overs work great.
Ran a strap through the back tire, another soft rag over the rim to keep it from marking. |

| I spoke with a guy once who transports bikes, his company required like 8 tie down points.
Told him to go to a dealer and get some of the bolts for the front tip overs.
I did not use the rear tip overs, just held down rear tire and worked fine. |
