I believe the old model has been phased out and they only make the new model with the cups.
I keep a pair of C.D.'s in case I trailer on someone else's trailer. My trailer has a Condor motor scooter wheel chock. I tie down to the lower triple-tree and tie-down points on the rear of the frame. The only way to go IMO.
When I first purchased the Burgman, and went to pick it up, the front wheel mount that I had didn't fit because of the 14" wheel was too small. I should have put a 2x4 on the trailer, but I didn't think about it at the time. Luckily, before I went to pick it up in Cherry Hill, NJ, a buddy of mine lend me his Canyon Dancers (the old type), and using them I took the Burgman back to Maine. In Maine, I bought the Condor motor scooter wheel chock (you have to use the last hole, 14" wheels barely fit). I like the idea of tieing down using the lower triple-tree, but there is so much plastic, I'm afraid it would rub against it as I drove. I figure with the Condor wheel chock, the canyon dancers to help keep it upright, and the mounts in the back, I should be okay to trailer it 1500 miles.
Right after I get out of school here (I'm going to bible school in Colorado), I plan on going riding in Dakotas, Wyoming, + Colorado, and preach to gospel to the world, and I can't think of a better way of doing it than on a Burgman.
BTW, I would appreciate it, if you had a picture of how you used the triple-tree mounts.
