    I've hauled my ZX6 the same way... I just release the tension on the straps overnight. Keep em just tight enough to keep the bike standing while you're not driving. :thumbsup:

    Did you say Horse power?
    One thing that I did was to change out the hooks on the ends of the straps to mountain climbing calipers. That way while I'm going over bumps going to where we are going to ride, they can't come off and cause the bike to fall over. It's been an excellent mod !! All my riding buddies ending up doing it as well.
