Canyon Dancer Bar Harness II

The Canyon Dancer Bar Harness II makes transporting your motorcycle or scooter safer and easier by creating secure, wide tie-down points directly from the handlebars. Its upgraded closed-end cup design helps protect grips, heated grips, paint and plastic bodywork from damage during transport, while reinforced polycarbonate cups and heavy-duty webbing deliver exceptional strength with over 1,800 pounds of tested pulling force per side. Built for stability and durability, it’s a trusted tie-down solution available at Cheetah's Powersports.

Features:

• A place to attach tie downs to a motorcycle or scooter that is high and wide for good support
• Keeps your tie downs away from expensive paint and plastic bodywork
• Closed end design prevents the cups from creeping inward and damaging bodywork
• New “cups” help eliminate possible damage to soft grips and even heated grips
• Sized to fit even the fattest grips in the industry
• Injection molded polycarbonate cups are reinforced with stainless steel D-Ring “lay-ins” for added safety
• New cups makes the bar-harness even easier to install correctly
• Break testing shows the Bar Harness II to withstand pulling forces over 1800 pounds per each side
• Webbing and stitch patterns have shown to be stronger than the best coated-wire tie down hooks in the industry
• Bar size, measured bar-end to bar-end, including bar-end weight or caps:
  • Short fits bars up to 28 inches wide
  • Standard fits bars up to 32 inches wide
  • X-Wide fits bars up to 36 inches wide
  • 2X-Wide fits bars up to 40 inches wide

Install Instructions:

1. Turn off engine and remove key.
2. Load motorcycle onto trailer or into truck, placing front wheel against a secure stop (such as the truck cab or a wheel chock). Use of a helper or “spotter” is highly recommended.
3. Lower the side stand or have a helper steady the motorcycle until it is secured.
4. Inspect the Bar Harness for signs of weakening or fraying of the sewing or webbing.
5. Grasp one cup in each hand and pull apart far enough to slip first one cup, then the other, over the handlebar grips. Be sure the cups are on all the way. You will notice it is necessary to rotate either cup 180 degrees toward the front or rear so that the cross straps hang from the bottom of the cups. This will cause a twist in the cross straps, which is normal. Next, pull out on the ends of the straps until they are snug and the cups are all the way on the grips.
6. You will now be able to install your own tie-down hooks into the loops at the ends of the straps.
7. The hooks at the other end of your tie-downs should be secured in such a way as to pull the motorcycle down and forward.
8. CAUTION!!!! PLEASE NOTE that the bolts attaching long bar-end weights (over about 1 inch) may be easily bent. These bolts were never meant to support more than the bar-end weight itself. We recommend that you use caution when tightening your tie-downs or simply remove your bar-end weights while using the Bar-Harness II.
9. The straps should be angled out and away from the vertical position as much as possible to better triangulate the support of the motorcycle.
10. Additional tie-downs are highly recommended and should be attached nearer the rear of the motorcycle (possibly to exposed frame tubes or grab handles). The ideal situation is to tie the weight of the motorcycle downward so as to take the weight of the motorcycle out of the equation, then all the Bar-Harness has to do is keep the bike upright, causing less stress on motorcycle components.
