try getting a half of a ratchet strap and keeping it on your front bumper. Usually works the best

i dont carry tow straps anymore......my quads usually light enough to not need one. but if i do need to be towed out my friends always have them. although most of them have ute's.

If its a 250ex you can probably put it in the tool box under the seat. Theres a lot of room in there...

I keep tow ropes on all my friends quads, I find that's best, but take a look into the Armadillo(I think) bumper. It's got a tool box behind the bumper.

first of all putting your foot on the grab bar to wheelie is ultra lame. i've seen a lot of your posts latley and well..i dunno i understand your a beginner but you gotta try some things yourself. sorry if i'm soundin like a dick tho i'm not tryin to be. to prove it i'll help you with your problem here. if i was to carry a tow rope i'd wrap it around my front frame rails behind my bumper.

Just get yourself a strap from a ratchet tie down, and you can use the hook on it to attach to the other quad, and tie the other end to your bike. The straps are long enough but easily fold up into the tool kit on your bike.

If you are going to be towed hook low to the tow quad and do not tie it to yours..... just loop it around your crossbar twice with enough tail to hold it under your palm...... there is nothing like catching a rock root whatever and not being able to get away from the tow or at least get stopped....

As for where to put it i used an old paintball holder and fastened it with wire ties to the sub frame near the tool box... it has a flip up lid that I secure with a wire tie as well.....

I carry a 6 ft or so long black tightly knit nylon rope in my factory toolbox...just enough room to fit it in there with the tool pouch.

I wear a back pack. I keep some water, a craftsman tool kit, and a ten foot tow rope.

Look in Rocky Mountain or others they sell a zippered fender pack that is small enough to attach to your fender, a buddy has one seems to work ok.
