Questions & Answers
Depending on the width of the handlebars on your bicycle, it may not fit the 32 inch scale but the narrowest model will probably fit and work just fine
Your handlebars must be the same width, so make sure you choose the right size. There is a chart for the Canyon dancers
As far as handlebar width goes, I don't know how wide your Vespa's is. You will be able to use them if they are less than 32 inches
Though I do not know for sure, I would guess it will. Whether I am riding a vintage Bultaco or a 2004 Ducati Fila, it fits.
Selected User Reviews For Canyon Dancer 32505 Black Bar-Harness II for 32" Handlebars
For tying down the bike, I bought regular ratchets, but the Canyon Dancer was recommended by a Ninja 400 group on Facebook since it doesn't put such a lot of I originally tied down my ratchets around the forks on the front end but I wasn't comfortable with it tied down that way because I had to tighten them pretty good and I didn't want to put too much pressure on them. My order was received the following day after I was advised this and ordered them instantly after being suggested. The reason for my urgent need was that I was in the middle of Thus it was a great solution. You should definitely invest in this for improved safety and peace of mind if you have a sport bike. This is a super easy product to use, and it comes with soft padded straps so that no marks are left on your bike.
I hope this review is helpful for you.
Since this was the first time I trailered my bike, I was a little nervous, but the set up worked really well. The front suspension was only sucked down by about an inch, and the bike was rock solid throughout. The second set of tie downs I purchased after taking these pictures is just in case the first broke (recommend 2 on each side just to be on the safe side). As far as the price is concerned, this setup is My hand grips were protected from any damage by the two socks I put on them as recommended by others.
My intention was to transport my 2004 Yamaha R6 in the back of a truck with these straps. Prior to this, I had been looping ratchet straps around each side of the handlebars and then tying them to the hooks in the truck by themselves. As a result, it was very effective, but it felt like a big hassle to do, and I also had to worry about the strap rubbing on my fairings. The Canyon Dancers intrigued me when I heard about them and I thought I would like to hear more about them. Apparently they almost dropped my bike in the back of the truck one time during the transportation of my bike from the mechanic to the shop. The way they're meant to be used was exactly how I used them. After following the instructions and verifying with a couple of YouTube videos, I followed the steps. It seemed like everything had been done properly, but the bike still moved a lot more than I was comfortable with, and it wasn't sealed up either. In the end, I opted to ride in the back with the bike, and I'm glad I did, because the bike nearly tipped over when I made a right-hand turn. Stop at a stop sign and then turn left! With the ratchet straps I used to use alone before, and without combining them with Canyon Dancers, this was never an issue. This is not a product I would recommend. Obtain some soft loop tie down straps and use them in combination with ratchet straps instead.
The tow truck took several hours to get here and when it did arrive, it was unprepared to tow a sport bike. The moment I saw how he was hanging the car tow straps over the gas tank and using the metal D rings to clip them to the tank, I knew I It would still mean they would need to reach out to traverse the lower forks, which would result in the fairings being ripped off. We suggested he go over the lower fork clamp. He had suggested I strap them to my front tire/rim, so I figured I'd quit while I had the chance. A Canyon Dancer strap was available to this guy who arrived eight hours later that knew what he was doing. After ordering it on Amazon, I got it within 24 hours. I plan on putting it in my pack when I go on long trips, just in case. I think it is worth the price.
In my RV, I had a double motorcycle rack mounted at the back for hauling my 150cc scooter. When I returned to my hotel after a weekend at Disney, I had to swerve HARD to avoid being rear ended by an illegal lane change. This caused my scooter's shocks to collapse when I clipped a curb with my RV trailer tire. My RV rolled a bit from left to right and bounced hard. Because of this movement, I clipped a curb and the RV landed hard on its side. It was the front tire that jumped off the track, and the bike extremely likely would have hit the road had it not been for the Canyon Dancer. Instead of the scooter being knocked off, it remained attached to the rack and only had a bent handlebar. Having to pay $80 for the handle bar repair is not a big deal I couldn't help but think about killing somebody with a scooter that fell off the rack. My ass was saved by this product.
Whenever I got to use the track, the handle bar attachment point got loose and the bar grips would either slip slightly off or get damaged. I picked up these bike straps because I needed a new way to tie down my bike. There are cups that go across the bar ends on Canyon Dancer II's. The CD II's hold very well after being secured with your ratcheting tie downs. These worked just as well and had such a quality feel and assurance that the bike would be secured, that all my buddies bought one for their bikes as well. I had the pleasure of using them at another trackday and I never once wasted time trying to place the bar grips back into place. The cups are made out of a hard plastic that is like a composite/composite like material so I can't imagine it They are lined with a rubber liner so they won't mar your handlebars. Webbing material that comprises the straps is extremely durable. Between the cups there is a large soft sleeve that almost feels like fleece that protects your tank from scratches. It is a very quality product that fills its purpose very One would be a great purchase if you are planning on transporting your bike and need a great system for tying it down.
On a regular basis, we take them camping in a toy hauler, and their design makes them difficult to tie down well. I bought a second Canyon Dancer in the recent past because my wife and I received a scooter for our wedding anniversary. I have no fears of my bike tipping over on arrival because of the Canyon Dancer. A bike carrier can save you time and anxiety when hauling it.
