You can also use a accessory called "canyon dancers". I have a set and work excellent.

Sounds like you're sorted. One last little tip though... Don't use a cover of any kind. It's easier to wash the dirt off later on than it is to fix where the flapping material wore the paint off.

Last time I trailered a bike any distance was when I bought the Nomad. I used a covered in horse type trailer for that, but it sure was hard on the 2 litre Subaru I used for the tow.

I used a U-Haul to trailer mine for a two hour trip. Worked fantastic! The problem was the loading. Take your time if loading off a driveway as the ramp has a fairly steep angle. The previous owner of mine came in a little hot and bottomed out the bike against the trailer. Best is to flatten out the ramp as much as possible like off a curb. Enjoy your new ride!

Tie downs

Another thing. If your straps don't have clip hooks, either duct tape them closed, or, Cycle Gear used to sell rubber figure 8s you put on the hooks to secure them.
