Damn that sucks, but Don I've trailered 2 bike home with 4 straps....I guess that means I'm a bike strap expert! LOL!!! Sorry to hear about that...replacement mirrors aren't that bad in price. The actual is about $30, but there is a place that sells the replicas for $15. I've got to find out the name.

The way this guy hooked the straps to my trailer 10 would have failed. I was opening the new tie downs with a dull ass knife (they tie wrap them to the packaging like they are made of China) handing them to him and opening the next. I checked tension, made sure the straps weren't rubbing the bike etc, but failed to notice he just laid the hooks on the railing.
Next time, I will be confident with my abilities and yeah... I' throw a couple extra straps on it.

Maybe change your nickname to 'pitsvtec aka strapdown queen'?
I can get a mirror for $30 delivered. Not bad at all.

How far did you trailer the bikes pitsvtec? Across town is a lot different than across country.

Wouldn't life be great if every motorcycle problem could be fixed for $30. I'd be doing wheelies and stoppies in my living room.

searching through the posts for trailer info and came across this, funny thread... but I need to know about trailers??? I was looking at a 5x8 utility with drop down gate and 12" tires, the floor is wire mesh but its all rated to carry 900 lbs..... never trailed a bike so I dont want the trailer to be the reason for a longer trip, ya feel me....
