They make special straps that bolt on to your lower fork tube/caliper and then go up and bolt to the triple. I have always used a ratchet tie down myself and go in between my two caliper bolts and then up and over my lower triple tree and ratchet down the suspention.(I'm sure my way is not as safe). The idea with straping down your front end is to take away the weight transfer which reduces the the front tire getting lighter and lighter(easier to wheelie) when launching. Running a front end strap will consequently makes it harder to wheelie because it has to pick the entire front of the bike up at a snap of a finger.
Good luck

You want to lower the back end of the bike by the same amount as well or your likely to have wheelspin.
