Running in a shootout on Sunday and want to try and trap the front end down to see if it helps. Anyone have an idea for a good way to do it? The normal motorcycle straps don't work because they bolt to the caliper brackets on dual disc sportbikes.

If you use the straps without hooks on them (like the ones shipped with harleys and buells) you can stuff it through the front axle and over the triple tree....that's how i do it.
