Ratchet strap over the seat forcing the bike down onto the side stand. A couple round the forks and grabrail and you'll be fine

i take your point and agree with it.. having never transported a bike b4 i thought this was best, i stand corected... i had a strap pulling down on the head stock and one pulling down and back on the rear wheel the bike wernt going anywhere, this was my experince which the op asked for whether he uses it or not is up to him.....

That is the main criteria

If in doubt just use as many ratchet straps as you can find
