This set of handle bars tie down are perfect. The nylon wraps that fits around the handle bar grips is soft and does not damage the grips. Until I purchase a trailer with a Pit Bull axel motorcycle restraint, these Cycle Cynch III tie down loops are the best solution to secure my motorcycle in a cargo van without damaging my motorcycle grips. Note that I use these in addition to additional tie downs at the rear of the bike to prevent any movement. This set of Cycle Cynch III would also work very well for use in a trailer or pickup truck. I definitely recommend these tie down loops over other ones a available on the market.
