Choosing the Right Motorcycle Strap: Secure Your Ride with Confidence
When it comes to transporting your motorcycle, few tools are more essential than a high-quality motorcycle strap. Whether you’re heading to the racetrack, a cross-country rally, or just moving your bike across town, the right strap keeps your motorcycle safe, secure, and protected during the journey.
At Power Tye, we specialize in American-made motorcycle straps that deliver unmatched strength, reliability, and peace of mind.


What Is a Motorcycle Strap?
A motorcycle strap is a heavy-duty tie-down system designed specifically to secure motorcycles to trailers, trucks, or transport platforms. Unlike standard cargo straps, motorcycle straps are engineered to withstand vibration, tension, and load shifts—common in motorcycle transport.
They often include:
- Industrial-strength webbing
- Reinforced hooks (snap hooks, carabiners, or S-hooks)
- Soft-tie loops to prevent scratches
Ratchet or cam buckle mechanisms for optimal tension
Why Generic Straps Don’t Cut It
While generic straps might work for furniture or general cargo, motorcycles demand precision and durability. Using non-specialized straps could lead to:
- Insecure tie-downs that loosen mid-trip
- Handlebar and fairing damage
- Unexpected strap failure due to low-quality stitching
- Bike tipping or shifting in transport
These issues can result in damaged bikes—or worse, road hazards. Investing in a dedicated motorcycle strap is investing in your bike’s safety.

Tips for Using Motorcycle Straps Like a Pro
- Use four straps minimum: two for the front, two for the rear.
- Compress the front suspension slightly, then lock it in.
- Loop soft-ties around solid points, like triple trees or frame tubes.
- Avoid over-tightening, which can damage suspension components.
Double-check your setup after the first few miles.
