For those of you who ride dedicated off-road bikes or have the need to transport your ride across country in a truck bed or on a trailer, there is a new security option of which you can take advantage. Lockstraps is now selling their Lockstraps Locking Tie-Downs for the situations above and virtually any other which requires you to lock something up or down that you do not want stolen. And, we all have something we want to keep – especially anything with two wheels and an engine!
The Lockstraps come equipped with two very strong and ‘beefy’ combination-lock carabiners at either end to allow you to lock both ends into position until you are ready to remove them. These combo locks allow you to ride all day long and not worry about loosing a key. The straps enclose a steel cable that runs the entire length of the strap, which provides added security. Rivets used in the assembly of the strap units are thick and tough; the straps are rated for a working load of 400lbs and a maximum load of 1200lbs. And, the Lockstraps come equipped with built-in ‘soft tie’ extensions. These are constructed so that no metal parts abrade the surfaces of any motorcycle you use them to haul –
no scratches, no new paint needed.
The Lockstraps are the product of Jeff Cranny. It was after he had the bad luck to have valuable items stolen from the back of his pick-up truck that he came up with the idea for “a locking, best-tie-down-strap-ever-created.” As many police departments state, 90% of property crime is “smash and grab”, and these straps will deter all but the most dedicated thief – and the time it takes to get through them will only increase the likelihood that the thief will be caught. Out of misfortune comes knowledge, and the knowledge gained by Cranny has led to the Lockstraps Locking Tie-Downs being available for you to purchase and use as needed.
