Reply to "Front Spyder tow points"

@ Troy

It was winched onto the flatbed backwards. The tow strap was attached to the frame, which is very accessible on the Spyder. He didn't have any tire straps or the such, so the front end wasn't secured. He was able to use a strap, from the rear, to the front to prevent it moving back and forth, but the front end could still move left to right if the enough force was used. This wasn't ideal, but we took it very easy on the way to the house. I guess we could've used some straps, as per Daniel's idea, to secure the front by the control arms, but I wasn't so hip on the idea at the time.

I had gotten a ride home before the tow truck arrived and came back with my truck with a couple of 2x10s to aid in the loading onto the ramp.

This event got me thinking. So this is my solution. They'll be used for tying down, towing, and possibly jacking. With a tow bar, I could possibly even make it to one of the events to meet some of the gang.
