About Canyon Dancer
Canyon Dancer, Inc. has been solving one of motorcycling's most persistent problems since 1993: how do you safely tie down a bike that's covered in expensive paint and fragile bodywork? Based in Red Bluff, California, this small but fiercely innovative company set out to answer that question — and the result was the original Bar-Harness, a product that fundamentally changed how riders transport their machines.
Before Canyon Dancer, securing a motorcycle for trailering or truck-bed transport meant threading hooks and straps through fork tubes, around handlebars, or dangerously close to fairings and bodywork. Canyon Dancer's solution was elegant: use the handlebar itself as the attachment point. Their Bar-Harness loops over both grips and provides dedicated D-ring attachment points high and wide on the bike, keeping tie-down straps completely clear of painted surfaces and plastic bodywork — no hooks ever contact the machine.
Over the decades, Canyon Dancer has refined and expanded on that original concept. The Bar-Harness II introduced injection-molded polycarbonate cups with steel lay-in D-rings, replacing simple cuffs with a system that won't damage soft or heated grips, clears a wide variety of fairings, and resists creeping inward under load. Break-tested construction means the webbing and stitch patterns are engineered to withstand serious forces — giving riders genuine confidence on the road.
Beyond the flagship bar harnesses, Canyon Dancer's lineup of Boat/Cargo Tie Downs & Accessories includes stainless steel strap rings that bolt directly to triple clamps, frame tabs, or virtually any 8mm bolt location on a bike. These USA-made rings are break-tested well beyond the strength of typical coated wire tie-down hooks, making them a trusted upgrade for riders who need a clean, permanent anchor point anywhere on their machine.
Canyon Dancer products are widely distributed through leading powersports retailers and are trusted by sport bike riders, dirt bike racers, adventure tourers, and cruiser enthusiasts alike. For anyone who moves their bike — whether to the track, the trail, or across the country — Canyon Dancer is the brand that made handlebar-based tie-down the industry standard.
