I know a lot of you have these and like them. But I asked the manufacturer at Sturgis for the engineers report on design and testing for strength of the support (part that clamps the bike frame), he at first answered a question from another guy then just totally ignored us and finally said to call the factory and took a break.
Showed me they have nothing to support there device other than "this looks like a good idea, bet we can sell some". Not to me. I will stick with Condor and six straps hooked to welded e-track.

Sorry to hear about your mishap there Mike.  But as far as the guy that rescued you..... a friend of mine that's passed now used to tell me "good things happen to good people.....just keep paying it forward and don't question it".

I believe you know that I did a lot of research on the Biker Bar and could not find one negative comment about it.  I know of more than a few bikes that have came loose from their tie downs or damaged suspensions when a trailer hit a pot hole or two.  So, when the next person does the research....your comments will be the first that they find.

For those that don't know about B&W Biker Bar, here's a link to a thread on this forum with photos of my install...... https://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=79634.0

Mike,
After reading your post I thought I'd email the guy and thank him myself. I got a very nice reply back from Charlie. Glad everything turned out ok!

After having a similar strap incident coming home from daytona, i also went with the biker bar. Its a great way to tie down. I'll never use straps again.
