Not having frame sliders, or being completely familiar with them. But from what I have seen, the sliders stick out from the side of the bike a couple inches or so, and those eye attachments probably the same. It just seems with those eye attachments being so far away from the frame, that with the use of straps there would be a lot angular downward pull (say 45 to 90 degrees). I know the frame is obviously very strong, and strong enough to take a good blow with the sliders on, but if you have a lot of tension on the straps, and the truck or trailer should take a good bounce, that tension will increase quite a bit. With that much tension, would the threads in the frame be able to withstand that much constant tension, or a quick spike in tension?
Just a quick thought when I first saw that.
