How to Trailer a Honda Goldwing | Safely Load & Tie Down

[@markJones38133]

Hey Chris, good video, I got to take my bike to ATL for a event. Thinking of renting a inclosed UhAul trailer.

[@ivanr_.8678]

Will this trailer be wide enough for a Goldwing Trike?

[@goldwingrocks3859]

Best tie-down procedure I've seen so far. I've used the candy land steering bar tiedowns for years just can't be stupid and ratchet them down so tight. The 2018+ has a nice place to ratchet down in front by the steering head housing and doesn't compress the suspension love that and works excellent. That's for the video Chris.

Thanks for the compliment, here’s an option to consider if you have a 2018+ Goldwing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z53Im4OjjNGeh7csi=2DOHNYTnmQeHXSlr

This is NOT a good way to strap on goldwings older than 2018. It WILL BREAK THE FRAME on 2017 and older. Never strap the engine guards. Even honda recommends NOT strapping to the engine guards. I have broken a frame strapping there and it's extremely expensive to fix

Thanks for sharing! Always thought about how I would tie the bike down in case of being towed.

[@chriscaliente5033]

Glad to help!

So where can I get one prefab with your set up. Seious inquiry! Great look

Nice detailed demonstration Chris. News you can use. Only here on the Caliente Garage series. Big Sexy always looking naughty.

[@chriscaliente5033]

I’d rather ride my Goldwing 99% of the time but sometimes it’s necessary to haul it.

@@chriscaliente5033 No question about that. And smart! Even though the organic rawness of motorcycling is about dealing with weather. There are times due to seasons that you can determine from weather channels that indicate patterns and trends. Most of the time pretty darn spot on. With technology we can ride smarter not harder if we choose. Look at all those be motorcycle Rally’s you can go to and not deal with unpredictable conditions. Look some peeps like to camp while others like to rent a room with running hot water, etc. No explanation necessary my brother Bugatti Caliente.

I enjoy your videos. Having not being able to ride for a while because of blood clots , I ride along by watching your videos. I was wondering do you sell the Caliente vest because I would like to purchase one. Keep the videos coming!!!

[@chriscaliente5033]

I do sell Caliente Flags!

[@gman77gas]

Excellent...thank you!

[@mrbig2506]

I wonder does that biker bar company makes one for the gold wing its a strap less tie down system

[@TMJB-ne9en]

Chris is the wheel chock mounted to the floor also?

[@chriscaliente5033]

Mounting the wheel chock to the floor is optional. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIbSdmaqZrOsrsksi=1j82_Gcy0A7KhIgb

[@allensullivan2870]

Do you have any videos of strapping down the 2018 plus bike?

[@chriscaliente5033]

Yes, here is the video link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIvSnnyqbdKoh9Usi=R_ppe502h-o9zTKK

[@brianfonville3473]

What size trailer should be used for transporting.

[@chriscaliente5033]

A 6x12 would tow a big Goldwing with ease but if you want more room go bigger.

[@brianfonville3473]

Thanks for watching!

[@darrelx]

Never, ever, EVER use the engine guards as a tie down point. It even says so in the user guide! Slip your soft tie loops over the triple tree on each of the front forks and tie them forward add slightly to each side, compressing the forks about 50% by incrementally tightening each side. That's it. The rest of the bike doesn't need to be strapped at all, but if you want to, slip a strap through the back tire and tie it backwards.

[@tonyrhoton6613]

U r correct

[@chriscaliente5033]

Everyone wants to be a subject matter expert but I speak from years of experience. I’ve hauled Goldwings for years and never had any issues as demonstrated in my videos. There are several mounting points for a Big Goldwing that are a good alternative like the rear passenger grab rails if you do not have a wheel chock but putting tension on the front forks, forks seals or downward on the handlebars are not techniques I recommend. The most important factor is buying the proper front wheel chock like Condor that locks the Goldwing upright into place with no kick stand assistance. The straps are just stationary secure points. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIbSdmaqZrOsrsksi=WZVhxKZY06N1zefs

@@chriscaliente5033 I personally am one person that broke off the crash bars at 2 different times on my Goldwing. Those mounts are really flimsy. That is my experience

[@edgardomatos6923]

well done. I have an open trl.

[@chriscaliente5033]

Hopefully my video helps!

[@tonyrhoton6613]

Myself i use a soft cloth on bike and go higher on front ., crash bars r not correct place 4 tie down will work but.

[@chriscaliente5033]

Some people may use ropes or a chain ratchet to secure their motorcycle for hauling but my video shows my technique.

[@pmgasman57]

I don t have the Crash bars
