Product Details

Universal 40" Black Bar Harness II (40505) by Canyon Dancer®. The Bar Harness II was developed to solve the four main issues encountered with the Original Bar Harness. There are work-a-rounds and techniques that make the Original Bar Harness work just fine for most folks but the Bar Harness II addresses those issues and is even quicker to install, and the same price. 1 - The Original Bar Harness would often tend to "scrunch" up the grips if not installed properly or if they were over-tightened or the grips were not properly glued to the bars. 2 - In the process of scrunching grips, the cuffs would migrate inward which would move your tie downs closer to body work. not always a good thing. 3 - The cuffs, in order to clear a wider variety of fairings were made to keep the cross-straps very close to the bars and sometimes that placed them too close to the switchgear, fouling horn and starter buttons. Insufficiently tightened switchgear can be pulled inward which can break the tiny locating pins on some bikes. Once a new bike is assembled, the little pins are no longer necessary, but nevertheless.

Installation Instructions:

  1. First, 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 (see photo) in each hand and pull apart far enough to slip first one cup, then the other, over the
  6. 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.
  7. You will now be able to install your own tie-down hooks into the loops at the ends of the straps.
  8. 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.
  9. CAUTION! Please be advised 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. Canyon Dancer recommend that you use caution when tightening your tie-downs or simply remove your bar-end weights while using the Bar-Harness II.
  10. The straps should be angled out and away from the vertical position as much as possible to better triangulate the support of the motorcycle.
  11. 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.

Canyon Dancer® is a small American company located in far Northern California surrounded by outstanding riding roads. Being in the industry in 1993, Canyon Dancer has carved out a niche for itself with superior bar harnesses. It’s all began with the invention of the Original Bar Harness intended to solve the problem of where to attach tie-downs to a bike covered in plastic bodywork. It’s made entirely of Polyester webbing and sewn with polyester thread, using own stitch pattern, on CNC programmable sewing machines. The Original Bar Harness became a must-have for most people carrying bikes. Until the development of the Bar Harness II, it was, and in many cases, still is the safest and easiest way to secure a motorcycle for transport. Today, the brand’s line is expanded to include Sport/Standard Bar Harness II, XX-Wide Bar Harness II, Strap-Wrappers, Strap Ring, Peg-Harness, etc. At Canyon Dancer, they pride themselves in offering innovative and practical products they make right here in the USA.
