I have been strapping mine down there, yep, it's bent alright. My own fault, but there isn't a real good way to tie down the rear on the trailer.

I don't know if you have any Checker's, Shuck's or Kragen auto parts stores in you part of the country, but if you do, they sell these double loop ended straps for straping down motorcycles. If you take them and loop them around your axle, and then use your tie-down strap and hook on to the loose end of the loop, once you tighten down your tie-down, they cinch down and don't move. You can use them on any part of the frame or suspension. I haul around 4 Quads, and they are the Best investment I ever made. They don't scratch the Sh*t out of everything either. They come 4 to a pack and I think they went for around $7 or $8. Hope that helps some.

Thanks, my grab bar is bent, and it is marred up from wrapping the strap around, trying to avoid scratching, so this would be great for me. I hate to even scratch my new quad, and it'll probably be worse when my exhaust get here in a few days.

Kawasaki is replacing my bent bar, they said it must have been defective. No reason it should have bent just picking up the tail end of the bike. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
