I use a tyre down on the back which I like because it doesn’t compress the suspension and a couple cinch straps on the front

I use AELLA rear tie down hook and U-Haul bike trailer (with build it chocked shape on the front side). Also tie down the front handlebar to mounting point on U-Haul bike trailer. Travel about 300 miles from Reno, Nevada, and bike did not move at all.
I also make sure I bought several extra "soft" adapter so it won't scratch the Aella tie down hook nor the handle bar:

I guess the seller have a lot for sale, I also buy one yesterday, couldn't resist since it was so cheap eventhough I already have one on my bike (different color)
Hopefully, it is not a "replica", well I sure will compare this red eBay one to my current one once arrived because my current for sure it's original since I special order the color from Motovation

Makes me want to reorder a new set in my own custom color to match the Corse look.

I compared my for sure original custom Titanium Gold color AELLA tie down hook vs. the eBay red color, and I believe the eBay is a "replica" but a very very nice quality replica.
Now the white logo on both is virtually identical... but...
First picture below, is how AELLA Japan package their bolts, while the bolt from the eBay version came inside a ziplock bags.
Second picture below, notice that my custom Titanium Gold Color AELLA have some kind of "pore" pattern on it's surface and not smooth, while the one I bought from eBay, the red version is much more smother and shinier.
Third picture below, pay attention on the bevel edge where my thumb is located, the gold AELLA have a smoother bevel edge (and only 1 bevel step) while the red eBay version have "multiple step bevel":
Forth picture, the AELLA original bolt (Gold Tie down) have marking and better bevel edge (surrounding the head of the bolt)
Fifth picture:
The cartoon box below is the packaging of the eBay version, it is a very efficient tight fit packaging, and all stuff from AELLA do not have this kind of cartoon box packaging, well AELLA charge a lot for their product so they don't need to save cost with efficient packaging
:
But in the end, this is a VERY GOOD QUALITY replica and the price is very cheap compare to the original AELLA version (Plus I pay much more due to the extra charge for custom anodizing color).
What really made me suspicious was the fact the seller keep relisting this same item over and over again since I first notice this on eBay back in mid January right before I decided to buy a custom color one...
Initially, I thought the seller bought an item he/she did not like and try to sell cheap on eBay, but it's funny when he keep have more of the same items after he sell one set, and it always listed as "new other"...
Anyway, if you want a RED color one, this is a very good buy and no one will know the differences unless compare it side by side like above.
I will not return this item and keep it, just in case I need it for some bracket on house project or anything like that but I won't install it on my beloved bike though just because...

You crack me up! I can’t imagine anyone ordering a set of these and then not wanting to keep them.
I didn’t even know these existed until you guys started showing them off, now I have a set of black ones incoming!
Transporting will be a breeze with these in situations where I can’t use the Pitbull trailer restraint

i ended up getting the sato tie downs. fit fine on my 2020.
i towed my bike twice with them. work great.
they came with silver screws. bugged me enough to order some black pro bolts.

Additional tie-down around delicate glide coating of your front suspension? RU sure?
If you really want to (additionally) secure the front, you better consider clipon/ handlebar tie downs.
Personally, we only use a rear tire TyreFix and front tire SteadyStand Fixed from AceBikes for years. Clever system with hardly any undesired load on suspension. Super steady and secure. Even at twisty’s, high speed highway and pouring rain.
Trailered both our bikes thousands of miles over the Alps and back with this ‘triple point’ setup many times without ‘skipping a beat‘.

Yep. Canyon dancers are great but I ran across these recently. Simple but genius:

I use these clamps along with a wheel chock just to secure the front. I also have the Sato rear hooks to support the bike. In California you are supposed to have 4 points tied down to be legal ( no one ever checks but after have a bike fall over just doing the front).

I didn't even think of this when I saw the pics/link until you mentioned it. Both my BMW GS and the wife's Tiger have hand guards and I had to strap them down by the lower triple. Picking up a couple of sets of these.

^^ THIS ^^ I have 4 Pitbull TRS systems. 3 for my trailer and one for in the bed of my truck. I also have a couple of the Canyon Dancer bar end loops to use with tie downs if I have to.
