ShockStrap Recommendation for Tie Down to Be Used with Wider Handlebars
Question:
I purchased two pair of 3113DAT tie downs. I questioned etrailer support if the hooks would fit a 1inch handle bar of a bicycle, I believe the answer was 7/8. My bars are 7/8 and hooks fit fine but the springs clips will not close, theyre good for 3/4inch bars. I guess now I need some strap loops? or any ideas? I reviewed to soon before I tried to used them.

Expert Reply:
What you'd want is the ShockStrap Soft Ties for Motorcycles and Dirt Bikes # 297-2STB-2 as this will allow you to loop around the handlebars and the clip will be able to close. Typically if the bike is secured proplerly the spring clips really aren't needed. Most tie-downs for motorcycles/bikes don't have them and they simply get depressed when using on a wider bar without issue.
