Fred/Joe,

Good tiedown reco, but I would still find a way to also anchor the bike higher
above the axles.

The tipover bars are close to the plane the axles, so if the wheel slips out
because the bike weight above the axles you could have a problem.

I should think you could route a line over the back seat wrapping around the
grab handles should be sufficient to address this concern.

When I shipped Mr. Hyde, I didn't have a fully clothed PC, so it was easy to tie
down from the frame under the rear seat. The bike was rock steady on the way
home.

bars since I couldn't straighten them. The electrical items on the bars don't
seem to be damaged, and I did get to ride the bike some.
