Secure your bike in your trailer quickly and easily with this clamping tie-down system. No straps or chocks needed. Just mount the clamping bar to your bike, drive over the trailer-mounted plate, and your motorcycle will automatically latch in place.

Specs:
Note: The Biker Bar is designed to secure a motorcycle that is pointed in the direction of travel only.
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 downtubes. 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.

Secure your bike in your trailer quickly and easily with this clamping tie-down system. No straps or chocks needed. Just mount the clamping bar to your bike, drive over the trailer-mounted plate, and your motorcycle will automatically latch in place.Haven’t taken out of box yet but have used them before and they are great so had to get one. Very fast delivery.
Etrailer is great. I installed 2 biker bars this evening in a enclosed trailer. Installation was easy and they work great.
These are a well built product. Put them in my 7 X 14 cargo trailer and use them to haul my Road King and wife's Sportster with no problems. Have used Etrailer a few times and their customer service is excellent, always well informed about shipping status. Highly recommend.
Does hold the bike solid
We just got 2 bars installed in the toy hauler and did a test run. Everything appears to be on the up and up and are happy with the product, how it mounts/locks into place, and appears to be a game changer to all the straps and tie downs from the past
The biker bar is bad ass! If your bike has to be a trailer queen this is the only way to parade her around period and being made and in 'merica you know it's quality!!
I absolutely love this tie down system. No straps to trip over. Easy set up. Highly recommended.
I bought three of these to use on a open car hauler type trailer I had made to trailer my three Harleys, two Wide Glides & a Road Glide Ultra. The trailer is 20' long which includes a 30" dovetail. It has two 3500 lb axels and is 82" wide inside fender to fender. The Biker Bar performs as advertised. No need for tie down straps. I trailered these bikes 900 miles from Missouri to Colorado and back, along I-70. I-70 in spots, especially going through Denver can be pretty rough. Lots of dips and bumps across all the overpasses. The Biker Bar held the bikes great with no problems. I used some cheap wheel chocks from Harbor Freight on the front wheels to keep the front wheel from flopping, but found out they were not really necessary when the Biker Bar is adjusted properly. Will not use them on the next trip. The Biker Bar is easy to install, just read the instructions and watch the video etrailer provides. B&W you could make the install a one man job if you provided a 3/16" dia hole in the plates that mount under the trailer. This would allow you to use a temporary screw to hold the plate in place while you drill the holes for two permanent bolts. I used a drywall screw and a fender washer to hold the plate in place. Also the two 5/8" dia bolts that hold the Main plate, are not long enough to go through a 1-1/2" board. I had to buy new bolts an inch longer. Other than that, I really am pleased with the "Biker Bar".
I love the B&W Biker Bar. We have pulled my HD Ultra Limited in an enclosed trailer behind our RV over 28 states so far. It loads and unloads in minutes, and has never moved at all, even through several full-brake lockdowns and all of the potholes that the northeast US could throw at us! It is a well-designed product. My only question now is what do I do with all of those old straps I used to have to use [Thumbs Up]
The tie-down did not work on my 2021 Harley Tri Glide. The lack was faulty and would not click in. I had to use modify the bracket to work. But it still doesn't work well. So I have been using straps. Since I had to modify the bracket, figured it was no good ro send it back. Cause I had no time to exchange it,cause I need to move right away. If I had one that worked it would be a great pice of equipment.
Finally can write review after 600ml trip. Rock solid! Bike becomes part of trailer. Front wheel dosen't even budge.Had to have underside plates replaced because supplied one's too small for my trailer,(wielding shop fixed that). Pat at etrailer was great! Would and have recommended.
It is very simple to lock ur bike down and go, no messin around with straps or anything.
Best mount ever ! I am going to purchase another for my garage. I have a 95 Fat Boy with drag pipes, it was a tight fit but does not interfere with my pipes nor my kick stand. And I mounted it under my kick stand. perfect fit. Took test drive and never moved , I doe add front and rear straps barely snug for heavy breaking as back up.
What a revolutionary idea! I purchased 2 B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down Systems a year ago. I have used them in my enclosed 6 x 10 enclosed trailer to haul 2 bikes, an Ultra CVO and a Street Glide to Panama City Beach bike week and Sturgis. With traditional tie downs there was no way to get both bikes in my trailer.
Zero problems, 2 thumbs up!!!
I love this product. Easy to install, no more having to put on the straps, compressing the front forks almost all the way down and having to recheck the strap tautness at every stop. Just ride the bike in to the lock down mechanism and dismount. Bike never moved an inch. Released the lock down mechanism with my heal and biked the bike off the trailer. Waiting for everyone else to instead their bikes.
The biker bar was delivered quick! Installation was pretty easy just using the directions, but there are multiple videos if you get stuck. The only problem I had was not with the biker bar system, but with the Harley. I have a bracket for my crossover pipes that interfered with the bar clamp position. It caused the bar to be either too far forward interfering with the kick stand, or too far aft of center. I wound up cutting a 3 inch section out of the bracket to give me access to the frame. From there it was gravy. I've got a 3600 mile trip coming up. If the bike stays solid like it is right now, I expect no issues. If there are problems, I'll let you all know.
Once I set the Biker Bar up and found out how to load the bike it was great. After loading the bike I took it for a ride and the handlebars turned on the bike. I had a hard time finding out why. The website said adjust the bar down and e-trailer said I had it down too much. I found that when I loaded the bike there was a preload on the front suspension. I now load the bike and with the bar latched turn the steering left and right a couple times and the preload goes away. Towed the bike 5,500 miles and it never moved.
Worked as promised. After first use, I would recommend the Biker Bar
Bought Biker bar to better secure my bike while trailering. Bought extra set of mounts to place in toy hauler so biker bar can be used in trailer or toy hauler and so far has worked great!!
Just finished a trip to Maine using the biker bar. I love the way it you just drive the bike into it and your bike is essentially secure. I say essentially because on my old bike there is always going to be oil on the frame and tightening the bar sufficiently to keep it from sliding fore & aft is difficult with the short tightening handle. I almost messed up some wires that ran along the frame during my initial install & set up as the bar slid aft. Even with my oily frame it works rock solid at keeping the bike from leaning left or right. I threw 1 'Shockstrap' from etrailer to the back to the trailer just to ensure there would be no movement in the event of heavy braking. My buddy used 4-point strap method. It took him a lot of time to get his bike adjusted correctly and then he was re-adjusting them every time we stopped. The Biker Bar makes it easy to load and saves time!

Works great. Well worth the money. First trip with them in use 4,300 miles no problems at all. The best way to secure bikes when on or in a trailer.
