B&W Trailer Hitches Biker Bar
« on: November 09, 2012, 05:30:24 PM »

Has anyone used the B&W Trailer Hitches Biker Bar? I stumbled across one mention of this and went to the website: http://www.turnoverball.com/products/motorcycle/biker-bar Not really sure how stable this would be on a long trip. I tried doing a search on the site but I only get referred to the joke section.

I installed one in my XtraTuff enclosed trailer this summer.  I hauled my SEEG05 400 miles, 200 miles each way.  My wife and I took our granddaughter to a three day camp and wanted to ride while she was there.  I used no tie down straps and it stayed in place as advertised.  Clamp the bar on the frame and ride into the dockin station.  On my Electra Glide, the jiffy stand must be positioned above the bar which is a bit of a pain.  One of the rubber pieces that is between the bar clamp and the cycle frame fell off after the third time I put it on the cycle.  I called the company because I was having trouble getting the jiffy stand over the bar.  They told me to positon the bar toward the back of the frame to where the tubes begin to bend outward.  I mentioned that the rubber piece fell off and they wanted the bar back to inspect.  A new bar arrived in the mail and I sent the other one back post paid.  Good customer service in my opinion.  I plan to haul the cycle to Florida at the end of December and expect no problems.

i was at a bike show a couple years ago in Reno and B&W had an Electraglide (minus fluids  :-X) hanging upside down above their both with only their Hitch Bar Holding it at the bottom of the frame.   I'd have to say, they hold  well  :2vrolijk_21:

Ya, it seems like a cool concept and allows you to load additional gear in your trailer. I guess the more I get to thinking about it though, it just a single point of failure when compaired to using multiple tie downs. I certainly would like the comfort and ease of this system, but I think I'm going to stick with the tried and true straps and cinch her down.
Thanks for the input!

Have a friend that has them in his trailer. A little tough to do alone, but cake with help. Turn you rig upside down and scoot stays put. Could be a bad thing  :nixweiss:. Part that goes on bike is easy to remove.

I already drag ( pipes, floor boards ) from time to time. Looks like that would be an issue with these bars. But it sure makes loading up look eazy.  :nixweiss:

Pretty slick. I'd like to see one for real. I'm assuming the bar that mounts on the bike is removed when not trailering.?

yes,

I have been using one for years and would not trailer without it.

I have logged over 5000 miles with one and have been coast to coast, never had an issue. Less than 5 minutes to load or unload. No straps,no burn or rub marks

It's called the Biker Bar here is a u-tube vidio of it.

I bought 2 extras from a buddy when I was going to rig out another trailer, and will sell a brand new one still in the box for $250.00 plus shipping.
