Ha! My tie down strategy is evolving to say the least. I am trying to still build up my confidence hauling the bike on the back of the carrier. My track bike always goes inside my honda element but this dirt bike won't make it in. So on the back she goes. I tried to secure the carrier with a really long strap and effed up the whole aesthetics of the pic. Doh.
I haul my dirt bike on the back of an Element on a regular basis. My strategy has evolved too, after I had it come through the rear window. Your fork straps look good and should be the type with carabiners on the bottoms. My original straps didn't lock at the bottom and the rear one came off after hitting a secession of bumps in the pavement. I would put the rear through the wheel at the very bottom, right against the rim. I also use one from a peg to the front of the carrier, keeping it against the wheel chock. Good luck.
