I have trailered mine twice....  once without an option...  
both times I argued against tying the bars down..in both cases the professionals on site talked me out of my concerns... ( 1 was the Service manager from the shop i bought it from, the other was a Tow Co manager)  the problem in each case for me was figuring out an option given the fairing and the lwoers, I simply didnt have a better idea...  now this is gonna bug me until i pull the fairing and take a peek

Scot, the red bike has yet to have been in the trailer.  But I've had two other SEEGs in my trailer and a few other dressers.  Was always able to find satisfactory places to run straps between the crash bars and lowers or use the foot pegs on the crash bars as a stabilizing point.  When you get your rear crash bars installed you'll have another option there too.  No kidding though, pull down on the ends of the bars and thereby flexing them up in the middle between the clamps isn't a good idea for any kind of extended period.

A number of years ago I was riding my stroker 86 Heritage with bars to the stars (ape hangers).

...Handlebars are not where you want to tie to when transporting a bike.
