Why cruisers need care
A Touring Harley can weigh well over 350 kg with luggage. They sit low, so a steep ramp can ground the frame or exhaust, and the wide bars and long wheelbase make them awkward to manoeuvre. The wrong strap in the wrong place can crush a fuel tank, mark the chrome or bend a mirror.
- Low-angle loading: a long ramp or a tilting bed, so nothing grounds.
- Wheel chock: the front wheel sits in a chock so the bike can’t move.
- Soft loops on the lower triple clamp or frame, never on the bars or the risers.
- Rear straps through the frame, clear of the exhaust and bags.
Common Harley calls
Flat batteries after the bike has stood (alarms and immobilisers drain them), immobiliser and key fob problems, punctures and the odd drive-belt failure. If the fob battery has died, try the PIN override in your owner’s manual before calling.
We take bikes home, to Harley dealers and to independent specialists across the North West.

Rider questions
Can you take my Harley to a dealer?
Yes. Tell us which dealer, and check it can receive the bike. Out of hours we can take it home or to storage.
