Good question! Saw once a bracket that goes under the handlebars but put a lot off strain on the bars

Get your straps out wider on bars and use a piece of fome i toss a towl accross the tank and down the sides

can you get a front wheel chock and a rear wheel ratchet clamp
carefull what you put on the paint, if its flapping long distance it can wear a pattern , brought a bike from tassy once and they delivered it to near me , it was covered in one of those cheap blue servo tarps , permanant tarp thatch imprint left over the whole bike :(

i do most of my tieing from the brake caliper mount or lower fork leg, or inside the front fairing to the lower tripple tree , but the front wheel needs to be secure in some sort of clamp, chock or rail, and your mostly just holding it forward

You can also strap over the front axle inside the fork leg. I've never none it but have seen a few at Phillip island who do it.

I also have a trailermate, but would'nt trust it alone on the front end over bumpy roads. That's just me...
