About the Bike Bone Anti-Theft Towing Device
The name Bike Bone™ itself (Patent # US 6,715,972 B2) is the brand name of an anti-theft towing device. The name was selected because motorcycles, like man, cannot stand with out some support. A man needs a backbone to stand, so we made a play on words and called the device a "bike bone"
The Bikebone™ is superior to strap tie downs for many reasons here are just a few:
-
Traditional strap tie-downs are easy to cut and therefore provides no deterrent to thieves.
-
They are also difficult to properly attach especially with some motorcycles with extensive body faring.
-
The strap tie-down also requires that the front suspension be fully or partially compressed which can cause suspension damage due to the "memory" loss of the springs in the front suspension.
-
This memory loss can dramatically alter the handling and thus the safety of the motorcycle.
-
The Bike BoneT is the world's first and finest rigid anti-theft motorcycle transport support system.
-
The Bike BoneT supports the motorcycle in a neutral position on your trailer, which does not exert force either up, or down but effective forms a "cradle" to support the motorcycle during transport.
The Bike Bone™ Advantage
Safely secures your motorcycle to your trailer without damaging the front suspension and thus preventing "memory" loss (sagging) of the front springs or damage to the shock seals. This damage is caused by prolonged compression of the suspension.
-
Provides a deterrent to thieves with its rigid triangular design.
-
Lockable wheel chocks, Wheel Ankles to secure the wheels.
-
Lockable handlebar grips to secure the Bike Bone to the motorcycle.
-
Is made of steel construction.
-
Esthetically designed to "blend in" with your bike and enhances the beauty of your bike while transporting.
-
Compact and collapsible and easy to store when not in use.
The Bike Bone can be easily attached to a motorcycle by one person and the steel construction will not weaken with age like strap tie-downs.
Protect your valuable investment with a Bike Bone!
