Saw this on Aruba.it’s IG on how they transport their V4RS’s. Does anyone make these kind of tie downs loops?

I would bet they made them in house soooo,
1 Conjure up a solution, (it’s not rocket science)
2 Go to onlinemetals.com, get some material.
3?Go to Mettec.com and get some quality fasteners.
4 Get to work. Two hrs max for the entire project.

Just thought if someone already made these and knew about them. No reason to reinvent the wheel. Thanks for the heads up on materials recs

I was always more of a McMaster Carr & Fastenal guy myself.
It looks like a threaded rod with maybe an eye nut on the ends. The only hard part, if you don't have a lathe, would be making the supports to fit the axel. If you have front axel sliders which use a through bolt, you already have the spacers. All you'd need is a threaded rod and the eye nuts.

I was thinking of using a 7/16 threaded rod and one of their biggest eye nuts which should be good for 1700 lbs vert load. Then turn some tapered delrin spacers to adapt to the axle. Prob way overkill

Delrin is a perfect material choice as its easy to machine and cheap.

Does the V4R have female screw threads in the subframe? I know it's a single seater bike but my SP is too and the std subframe for it (same as S and base bike) has them so i bought some "Race Hooks" from Sato racing, anodised aluminium and discreet but very handy for tying it down in my Van.

I would make some dyneema loops and cow hitch them around the base of the forks

This is a solution looking for a problem, all the professional transporters using webbing strops.
But since this is the Ducati forum it needs to be carbon/titanium or other "good stuff: CAD designed, and have people argue for a month over something they will never use
