Towing my Motorcycle

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree then. I base my comments on my experiences and I've towed heavier bikes than that HD so I know it works.

As far as levers go, sure. But remember, a handlebar is designed to deal with fairly high forces to begin with.

 

Canyon dancers are used because of not havin access to anything to hook a strap on. With the clip ons bein so short they're very strong compared to a set of cruiser bars. The canyon dancer doesn't protect the bars from being scratched, they protect the tank. That's why the microfiber is wrapped around the strap. As for tieing the back of a bike down, its overkill

 

The rear end can hop to one side or another. In the back of a pickup, that might not be such a big problem but on a trailer, it can change the handling characteristic of the trailer. On that three rail I have, the outside bikes will slide into the inside--for dirtbikes, not such a big deal.

 

Thanks for everyone's input, sorry it took a while to get back I've been pretty busy. I never towed my bike more than 10 miles so I was kinda nervous about it but I'm feeling pretty good after reading everything.. We just greased up the trailer, drove around for about 20 minutes, then greased it up again so it's ready to go and I wont be breaking 55/60 mph on the highway anyway...
