Looking for the best way to attach the Canyon Dancer and other straps for the best stability of the scooter. Any pics?

There's a couple of pictures of a scooter on a Versahaul on the Versahaul website.

The front straps are the most important; roll the scoot all the way to the front of the ramp, compress the front shocks, but not all the way. The back strap(s) are needed mostly to keep the back wheel from falling out, so as long as the back straps don't fall off they're good.

I have a pic of mine on the Versa Haul in this thread: topic21239.html

basically I use Ancra tie down extensions on each grip and criss cross them on the back rack so they don't hang down so far; start with front left (ratchet enough to lock strap), hold scooter, then right front (ratchet enough to lock strap) and ratchet both straps equally to compress forks; proceed with left rear to compress rear shock, and finally right rear to match left rear and click once more; everything is nice-n-tight...this has been done nearly 2 dozen times and I have it down pat...

The front is pretty simple with the Canyon Dancer. The rear is easy if you decide to hook to the rear rack.

However, the rear rack isn't the strongest and can be damaged if you over-tighten the straps. (Don't over-tighten the front either - you can crack the handlebar casings.)

I instead attach the strap hooks to the frame itself directly under the rear of the seat. If you look beneath the seat you should see the tubular frame as it curves around the back. It's a bit awkward to get the hooks on because there's not a lot of room under there, but its stable as hell once you get it attached right.

Why is it called a Canyon Dancer????
