Bar harness vs. Soft straps?

If you loosen the tension it dosent let go.

LOL, I was just wondering because your post made perfect sense to me after a few dozen good swigs 'o whiskey...

The straps on the rear wheel help keep the back end of the bike from sliding around and it lets me take some of the load off the forward pulling straps.

Works for me...

yeah, thats the ticket
