Anyone used High Roller Handlebar Harness

toy4bob · 02-19-2012, 09:11 PM

Experience or opinions? I am looking for a way to strap my Vaquero down without putting any pressure from straps against the fairing

There's a YouTube video showcasing it. Looks like a good idea for those with fairings. I've never used one.

Hook the straps from the crashbars, that should be secure, especially if you also use a wheel chock.

I'd use a front wheel chock instead. Harbor Freight has a low end one that works, or check "Lock and Load" for the deluxe model. That way the front wheel won't move, but the shocks, faring, and handle bars aren't tied down or damaged.

Found one on E bay for cheeper than what I paid for mine.

I thought that video Chris mentioned said not to use the handlebars as tie downs? I could be wrong, sometimes CRS creeps in.

You can also use a couple pieces of 2x4 on either side of the front wheel, if you dont have a wheel chock.

I have used a wheel chock along with straps from the crash bars on my bikes to secure them and that combo works fine.
