Hi,

I need to move my non starting nc30 quite a distance so I thought it would be best to hire a van and do it. But I have never done this so could do with some advice, mainly being what harnesses do I need and where to get them from. But if you could walk me through the whole process I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Ramon

I've used paddock stands in the past and some ratchet strops.

Pop the bike in the Front wheel in first.

Put the rear stand in only - then use a ratchet strop on each side through the pillion pegs or subframe and tighten it down to secure points on the van floor - compressing the suspension slightly.

For the front end I used a couple more straps around the forks just above the yokes and again tied them off to secure points on the van floor.

I gave it bit of a wobble to try to move it and it didn't.

At points along the route I would stop and check it was still secure. Did 250 miles like this and no problems.

Hope this helps you out?

+1, Only ever used the side stand method, i also cable tie the front brake, and stick it in gear,

couple of rachet straps jobs a good en,

my van has little lugage hooks everywhere which come in VERY handy.

That's great news, thanks. I have the paddock stand already so just need the straps. It's making sense though so thanks a lot
