TIPS:
- When mounting single point anchors in pressed wood (decking of some cargo trailers) be careful not to tighten the nuts too much as pressed wood gives under heavy pressure and can bend the anchors making it difficult to attach accessories.
- If bikes are in a trailer, mount them alternating sideways to save room and use walls/rails to minimize movement even more.
- Limit side to side movement by moving the cinch to a lower mounting hole, cinching the bike down further.
- Street bike model – make sure pegs are at least 13” from ground and pegs are mounted firmly to the bike frame (many street/sport bikes have pegs that are not firmly mounted to the frame).
- If you are mounting the L-Track by yourself, place vice grips on the nut and tighten the screw from above.
- Before loading your bike, extend the far side cinch and lay it on its end, making it easier to reach over the bike and cinch the other side (for us shorter guys…).
- If the pin hits the peg (Alta electric bikes and some aftermarket pegs) try switching positions with the cinches (left on right side and right on left side).
- The strap used to secure the handle is a little short (fixed on the next productions run). Start wrapping it front he far side to the short side. You can also just wrap it around the far side and it should be fine. You can also pull forcefully on the strap occasionally, it will soon stretch and be easier to place around the handle.
- The cinches should be mounted directly below the pegs, as vertical as possible. Avoid excessive angles between the mounting surface and the foot pegs. Use a plumb-bob or similar device to locate the anchor positions below the pegs as per the instructions.
- Make sure the screws for the single point anchors are mounted straight and they are fully set in the countersunk holes. If the screws are not flush they may interfere with the L-track latch.
