Transporting a SV in a Merc Sprinter?
 

Hi Guys, I will be moving to Milton Keynes at the end of the month and i need to transport all my things and the motorbike there also. I have hired a sprinter which should hopefully get me there quickly :P

What will be the best way to secure the bike in there? I was thinking about wedging it in between a couple of double mattresses and some strapping?

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Ratchet straps, steering lock , tape on the brake lever and some foam if its lent near the wall, will support it easily.

Butt the front wheel right up against corner of the bulk head and right hand side of the van. Leave the bike on the side stand. PVC tape the brake lever down so the front brakes are on. Strap the front round the bottom yoke onto the tie down point in the corner. Then strap across the bike over the riders seat from the tie down infront of the right hand wheel arch to the front left hand side tie down point. Use a towel on the seat to spread the load.

Done this before. Works fine and doesn't move.

+1. Always moved my moto-x bikes this way. Solid.

Should do
I use a 60mm 5t as a wind lash on equipment that weighs a lot more
