Hey all, Just registered, been lurking for a while. Love the site. Got an 06 C50 a little before Christmas. Bought it for our oldest daughter so she could ride with us. Wife and I ride an oldwing. My question is where are the tie down points for trailering. Handlebars or triple tree at front and where at the back. Didn't see it in owners manual or I missed it, hey I'm starting to get old what can I say. Thanks for any info. Gary

right behind the passenger footpeg there is a metal loop like piece you could tie to. That's the only thing I can think of right now.

I used a set of these, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motor...spagenameZWDVW. I attached these to the handlebars and then attached the tie downs to the loop at on the end of these extensions. That way the tie down does't scratch up the handlbar chrome or slip off the handlbars. I towed my bike from eastern kansas to the coast of oregon this way, around 2,000 miles, and never had a problem.
