Question:

Will a biker bar work on my 2017 Harley Tri-Glide? I read somewhere that the bar wont work with the newer Tri-Glides because of the parking brake. Thanks!

My contact at B&W confirmed that for the 2017 H-D Tri-Glide trike that has a parking brake their Biker Bar for Touring models, part # BWMC2301, is the appropriate model. Mounting hardware for installing the base plate is included.

I have a HD 2003 Police ROADKING MOTORTRIKE CONVERSION GLADIATOR MODEL 2016. I use an Aluma open Trailer MC210. What model BW BIKER BAR WOULD WORK TO SECURE MY TRIKE. Traveling from NJ to Florida. I have a Mid Step on Trike.Thank you Or what Tie down ratchet straps do you recommend.

The Motortrike conversion you have bolts on after the point where the B&W Biker bar connects to the motorcycle frame on your 2003 Road King, so you shouldn't have any issues. You will want the B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System for Trailers - Harley-Davidson Touring # BWMC2301 based on your frame. I can't get a great picture of the mid step you referenced for your trike but from what I can see it doesn't look like there will be an interference issue. I've attached some instructions to assist. so you can double check clearances required. With the Biker Bar, no additional straps are needed. If you don't have the clearances required, then the next best option for you is to use the MaxxTow Adjustable Wheel Chock with Pivoting Bracket - 7-1/8" Wide Tires # MTMWC-01R and then I recommend using the Erickson Motorcycle and ATV Tie-Downs w Soft Ties and TCS Buckles # EM05729. The combination will secure your front wheel and provide stability that will only require basic straps to fully secure.
