Actually there are three straps. One is around the front wheel strapping it to the frame of the tow rig.I dont believe watt am seeing.. is that road king (850lb) being tethered by two straps affixed to the 1/2"dia hiway lite bar??
I know someone that used a very similar outfit. It ruined his fork seals on his trip towing it from central Nevada to Longview Texas. About 1,500 miles. It seemed the angle of the way the motorcycle sits, the rake angle due to it not actually sitting on the ground, and the angle produced into the forks during sharp 90 degree turns like driving through towns from the straps and position of the tow rig, produces a lot of lateral pressure on the fork tubes and both his shock seals were blown when he got to Texas. He rented a trailer on the return trip. It was on a Yamaha Venture. I now would not consider a set up like that. It is not like a trailer, it's towing plane it not flat. The motorcycle still wanted to lean in a turn putting pressure on everything.
