Biker Bar in use

With B&W's Biker Bar, it's never been easier to secure your motorcycle for travel. Just bolt the latching plate to the floor of your trailer, and clamp the included bar to your bike's frame. Once both components are appropriately mounted, simply drive your motorcycle onto your trailer, over the latching base plate, and the bar will automatically latch into the base. No straps or wheel chocks are needed.


Not only does this motorcycle tie-down system make it fast and easy to connect your bike to your trailer, but it also makes it safer and more secure. Because there are no tie-down straps, there are no buckles or hooks to rub against your bike, potentially scratching your paint or trim. And because the bar attaches to your motorcycle's frame, this system provides more stability than tie-downs alone. In fact, the Biker Bar system is designed not only to secure your bike, but also to create a natural ride for it during trailering. Once hooked up to the latching plate in your trailer, your motorcycle's suspension is effectively linked with the suspension system of the trailer, eliminating undo stress on your bike.


Installation

Installation of the Biker Bar is simple. The bar itself clamps to your bike's tubed frame, just behind the transmission. Be sure to clear any potential obstacles, such as hydraulic lines or wiring harnesses, that could get caught between the clamps and the frame. The clamps on the bar are lined with neoprene to prevent scratches to your bike's frame.


Once you have the bar securely clamped to the frame of your bike, ride the bike onto the trailer to determine the location where you want the bike to attach. Mark that spot on the floor of your trailer so that you can bolt down the latching plate. You will have to drill into your trailer's floor to attach the plate.


The final setup step is to adjust the height of the latching base. Once the base is bolted to the trailer's floor, ride the bike over it until the bar is directly in front of the base. Measure the distance from the middle of the bar to the trailer's floor. Your bike's suspension must be slightly compressed while latched down to appropriately stabilize the bike during transport. So you must remain sitting on the motorcycle while taking this measurement. Once you have this measurement, remove the bar from the bike and place it in the latching base. Adjust the height of the base until the bar is the same distance from the floor as it was when on the motorcycle. The base adjusts in 1/4" increments, so the height may not be exact. As long as the bar is within 1/4" of your initial measurement, setup is complete.

  • Biker Bar For The B&W Motorcycle Tie-Down System for Trailers
    The B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System # BWMC2300, just includes the base and anchor plates. That biker bar that attaches to the bikes is item # BWMC2302B. We also have a biker bar that fits Harley-Davidson Touring style motorcycles # BWMC2301B. For the complete system that has the biker bar, base and anchor plates, I recommend B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System for Trailers - Harley-Davidson Softail, Dyna, V-Rod Item # BWMC2302. The Biker Bar System for Harley-Davidson...

  • Adjusting the B&W Biker Bar Base for Height of Road King Frame
    The B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System Base with Anchor Plates # BWMC2300 does not need to be adjusted to the higher holes. The adjustability is dependent on the ground clearance of your frame. The B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System for Trailers - Harley-Davidson Touring # BWMC2301 shows adjustability as shown in the attached photo.

  • Is There an E-Track Adapter for the B&W Biker Bar
    I have a solution for you, but there is not an adapter that will allow you to mount the B&W Biker Bar # BWMC2301 to an e-track setup on a trailer. The Biker Bar does come with mounting plates/anchors that are mounted on the underside of your trailer, under the Biker Bar, to provide an extremely secure connection to the floor of your trailer.

  • How to Secure a 2018 Harley Davidson Tri Glide to a Trailer
    In order to secure your 2018 Harley Davidson Tri Glide I recommend using the Tow-Rax Wheel Chock part # TWSPWM for the front wheel so long as it is not greater than 6-1/2" wide. Then in order to secure the two rear wheels I recommend using an e-track system which is composed of the Erickson Horizontal E-Track part # EM19147 and the Erickson Adjustable Wheel Net with E-Track Fittings part # 77314. You can also add the Erickson E-Chock Wheel Chocks part # EM09162-2 for even more security...

  • Recommended Biker Bar for a 2016 HD Electra Glide Ultra Classic
    Hey Val! The B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System # BWMC2301 is designed for the touring line of Harley Davidson motorcycles. So it should work great for your 2016 HD Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I do recommend verifying your frame has a tube diameter of 1-1/8" to 1-1/4" with a width of 10 to 14-1/2". What kind of trailer do you have?

  • B and W Biker Bar for Harley Street Glide and Ultra Models
    Hey Donnie, for all three of your Harleys the correct Biker Bar would be the part # BWMC2301. BUT we don't have a solution for the Indian. They only have options for Harleys at this time. I wish they would make options for other brands as this does come up. So to transport it you'd need something like E-Track # e95VR, Wheel Chock # 3481731, Tie-Down Ring # 59131, and Strap # EM59136. Think that would work for you?

I have attached a screenshot below from the installation instructions. Please note that we have spoken with B&W before and for the Roadglide they do recommend the B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System for Trailers - Harley-Davidson Touring item # BWMC2301.

  • Do You Have a Camera System for Inside My Utility Trailer, and Ways to Transport my Harleys?
    Hello Delmar, Wow those are some nice Harleys you have, I can definitely see why you would want to keep an eye on them while on the road.

It has a longer distance than our other systems at 492 feet, motion detection as well, and the night vision is better. As for the fold down wheel chock, we do not...

    The B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System for Trailers # BWMC2301 and # BWMC2303 will use the same base so will attach to the trailer the exact same way, but it is the actual bar that attaches to the frame of the bike that will be different.

  • How to Identify B&W Biker Bar BWMC2301 and BWMC2302
    You can tell the difference between the B&W Touring Biker Bar # BWMC2301 and Softail # BWMC2302 by looking at the neoprene pads. The # BWMC2302 has gray pads and the # BWMC2301 has black pads. It is a darker gray, and may appear black if it is dirty, so cleaning the pads will help if you aren't able to tell a difference right away. The difference is easier to see if you check the pictures for the Replacement Clamping Bars you were looking at. The # BWMC2301B is black while the # BWMC2302B...
