Step 7

(B.) Secure Handlebars to Front Tie Down Arm

Securing Motorcycle to MotoTote

Depending on how you planned your tie down process, connect the other end of the tie down to either
the tiedown loop on the MotoTote or to the handbars on your motorcycle. We recommend connecting

the inner one first, as it will support the bike and allow you to more easily complete the tie down pro

cess. Alternate back and forth while tightening until the bike is secured and centered. Tie off excess
straps for safety and security.

While loading and unloading your MotoTote can easily be a one person job, having a helping hand for

your first time ensures the safety of you and your motorcycle.
