If you need to transport a motorcycle on a trailer or in a van, you really need to make sure it is securely tied down before setting off. The new AxFix spindles are hardened steel rods which fit through the hollow axle on front or rear wheels to provide stable and secure lashing points, which crucially don’t require the suspension to be compressed in order to work, and also ensure that no straps interfere with bodywork, frame or any other part of the bike. 
There are 13 different kits in the range, which will cover a huge range of bikes, including models with single-sided rear swingarms where a special sleeve is included to facilitate fitment. Each kit includes four ratchet straps to lash the bike down. Prices are kit dependent, and the firm is working on creating a “dealer kit” which will use the minimum number of spindles and adapters to fit the maximum number of models of bike so that dealers and transport companies can easily cater to all their customers. Prices start from £199.99.
