I would take a set of Black ones if they fit the 17's.

Aussie and I have shared PM's and after he returns from Holiday will be sending me the Blueprints, I will then take to my friends shop to get an idea of cost and all.  Afterwards I thought I would start a post getting an idea of interested members, from that will be able to get quanity pricing to determine real cost numbers to all.   
Let's hope there is interest enough to make this inexpensive for all vs too costly.

Very nice Joe, I would buy a set of them tomorrow if you decide to manufacturer.
Sorry but I totally disagree with Rodrunner above. Never good to tie to rubber mounted handlebars, Never good to use tie downs pulling to the rear, this only would pull the bike out of the front chock if the front tie downs fail. Good idea to use six tiedowns for sure, but I just do not think your way is good.
I also have towed bikes, boats, race cars, wrecked cars etc for a lot of miles. Made a living doing it for awhile and sorry to say your way, if a catastrophe were to occur will only do damage to the bike. IMHO.

Thanks for the input....
The front wheel is securely tied to the front chaulk, and the rear wheel is blocked.  It actually gets tighter as I drive.  The handlebar tiedowns are not very tight because it conpresses the springs too much.  The front down tube ties augment the handlebar ties. The rear ties are for lateral support, to keep the two bikes from banging into each other in the event of a minor event.

I had a car pull out in front of me near Lamar CO a few years back. I was loaded with two Ultras, I was going ~60mph. I swerved into the oncomming lane but the trailer caught the front of the Toyota. Ripped off the right fender of the trailer, bent the axle back, ruined the wheel and tire. Totaled the Toyota.

Bikes didn't move.  Tow truck operator just pulled the trailer and bikes and all up onto his flatbed.

This works for me and I have confidance in this system.

I would be interested in a set for my 16 sg and my wife's 13 sg if these get made.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all of the good tie down information I have been having difficulty with securing my `15 Street Glide for transport since purchase. My `05  Electra Glide did not have lowers and was a breez to put the tie downs on. You guys have provided a lot of great information thanks!

I'll only need one set...in chrome......do they work with rear floor boards? They look like they will.

These were designed to suit a 2012 frame so you will need to check if mounting holes are the same on 2013 and later frames.

Yes they will work with rear floor boards but a slight modification will be required.
Bottom bolt will need to be replaced with a countersunk bolt, these holes can be countersunk before Chrome plating.

Standard passengers peg brackets are fixed with one bolt, Two bolts will be required when using rear tie brackets to eliminate axle load on top bolts.

Floor board bracket shown with bottom hole that requires a counter sunk bolt?


Standard foot peg bracket showing bolts required to fix bracket, top bolt will need to be replaced with a bolt 1/4" longer to ensure full thread engagement.

Thanks for taking this on for me your end Joe.
Shipping from AU to the US is where it will kill the cost vs making them in the US.

Add one more to the interest list

Hello,

I was wondering if the brackets attached to the front forks would also be sufficient for Ferry crossings. At the moment I use straps over the top of my bike across the seat but it makes an ugly mark on the seat which I resolve by leaving my jacket over the seat before fastening the strap. Seems like a plaster on top of a plaster and leaves my jacket exposed for anybody with a disrespectful attitude towards an another man's property.

The brackets would seem like a perfect solution but if was wondering if it would be enough on a rough crossing.

thanks

Vincent
