Motorcycle Towing in Kalamazoo, MI — Your Bike Gets the Right Equipment
Soft-strap cradle systems, wheel chocks, no chain contact with frame or paint. Sport bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, and RVs. Available 24/7 in Kalamazoo County.
Motorcycle Towing Requires Specific Equipment — Not Any Flatbed
An operator who chains a motorcycle to a flatbed using chain hooks directly on the frame is going to cause damage — to the finish, frame rails, fairings, or all three. Proper motorcycle towing requires a wheel chock or cradle to hold the bike upright, plus soft-loop straps anchored to appropriate frame contact points.
Kalamazoo Towing and Recovery carries purpose-built motorcycle towing equipment on our flatbeds. Your bike is held in a wheel chock, secured with soft straps at correct frame points, and transported upright and level. We photograph the bike before loading and after delivery.
Motorcycle Types We Tow in Kalamazoo
Sport bikes (Yamaha R6, Honda CBR, Kawasaki Ninja): Low fairings and aggressive geometry require specific loading angles.
Cruisers (Harley-Davidson, Indian, Honda Shadow): Wide rear tires and low ground clearance require appropriate ramp angle and cradle width.
Touring bikes (Harley Road King, BMW R1250RT, Honda Gold Wing): Heavy — often 800+ lbs — with hard cases that affect balance during loading.
Adventure and dual-sport (BMW GS, KTM 790, Honda Africa Twin): High center of gravity, knobby tires, tall stance.
Scooters and mopeds: Lighter but often delicate bodywork — soft straps only, zero chain contact.
Vintage and classic motorcycles: Non-standard frames — we assess anchor points before loading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you tow a Harley-Davidson?
Yes. We tow Harley-Davidson motorcycles regularly, including Wide Glide and Road King models with wide rear tires. We use appropriate cradle width and ramp angle for Harley geometry.
What if my motorcycle fell over after an accident?
We assess the bike’s condition before lifting — particularly checking for fuel leaks. We photograph condition before handling. If the bike has frame damage that affects towing safety, we’ll inform you before proceeding.
Do you tow RVs as well?
Yes. Class A, B, and C motorhomes and large fifth-wheel trailers require heavy-duty equipment. We handle both motorcycle and RV towing — call and tell us what you have.
How do you secure a motorcycle on the flatbed?
We use a wheel chock or V-block cradle to hold the bike upright, then secure it using soft loop straps attached to appropriate frame anchor points — never chain hooks, never contact with painted surfaces or chrome.
