Ya, everyone said use the second hole so that is where it's set. I'll watch and do it slow to make sure. I have a fiberglass fender so it won't just scratch...

How much lower does the B and W bar make the frame? I am worried about clearance. My K9 should already be 4 inches off the ground. How much does the bar cut the ground clearance?

I'm referring to loading it into my truck. I'm having a custom ramp build and the ground clearance will change when loading with that bar on the frame. I'm trying to figure out how much so they can adjust the ramp is I still go with one.

Yes, I've also emailed etrailer as well. I probably will have to go with the condor chock.

Did you get the chopper cradle?

The biker bar would prob not work to ride up a ramp as they are not designed to do that. I just put the clamp on after entering the trailer and than move the rest of the way into the locks. This is my opinion of course but after experiencing the biker bar ,you will never use wheel chocks and straps again. My condors are just gathering dust outside and the power ties are now in the trucks for strapping down feed and hay. With the b@w bars there is no chance of error at all , the bikes can be positioned with in inches of each other and no possible way for them to move. We put two ridge backs and a mastiff plus a road king in the space that would only haul two bikes with condor and straps.
I hesitated to post again on this but maybe we won't get any smart ass comments debating the merits of hauling versus riding.

Not yet, I'm trying to figure out how much the bar reduces the ground clearance. It may scrape while loading is my concern.

Can you post the pics?

I just got this reply from B and W Bar support:
Thank you for your inquiry. The bar hangs down approximately 1" below the frame. However the bar does not stay on the bike unless you are towing it. It needs to be removed when you are ready to ride. The lowest setting is 3 3/4" from the ground to the top of the clamping bar tube with you sitting on the bike. I have attached the biker bar instructions for you so hopefully all of that will make more sense. Please let me know if you have anymore questions or need further assistance.

I don't see the mod? Where did you take some off?
My condor ended up scratching the bottom right of my fender. When it's loaded it's fine must be when the cradle slaps up. Have been meaning to cut it down and it's only on the right hand side.

Okay now I see it couldn't tell on the pic probably cause you painted it. That makes sense I need to do that to mine

Since you cut it I can't really tell. I'll have to measure mine tomorrow to see how wide and long it is.
