When I trailered mine home, I used four monster "d"rings that I had installed bolted to frame steel in my enclosed trailer. I used four motorcyle tiedowns.
A buddy and I pulled the front ones, from the d-rings to the handlebars, and simultaneaously stood on the pegs. We were able to compress the forks, and use that to create tension on the straps.
Then, I added one to each side of the back, but crisscrossed them left strap behind the seat to a solid point on the right side. Same for the other side.
I had about 200 miles, over a mountain pass, and it rode like a dream. My response isnt rocket science, but I hope it helps.
