Regarding ratcheting straps just ensure you are using high quality ones. I had a economy HD strap explode while I was towing the bike in a open trailer. Bike landed on it's kickstand rather than going over the side as I was cruising 70 mph on the highway. All ended well but I had to toss my shorts when I got home.
JB - Nice bike. I'm just over 21,000 miles on my 1290 GT. I bought it new 3 years ago as one last, fast TOY. Most fun ever. Upgraded the seat and Windshield. **** canned the Servo for the Cat and added a dongle to get rid of the MTC Error. Also, download the 2019 mapping for fueling and suspension. Works wonders.
