1374.0. "In need of finding a CRV harness?" by LANDO::ODONNELL () Mon Jun 02 1997 09:30

    
    
    I was in a cycle shop this weekend looking for a "CRV harness"(?)
    to be able to secure a child behind me on my bike.  The dealer didn't
    seem to know much about it, or where to order them for me.
    
    I ride with a Shriners Drill Team and Parade Unit in Massachussetts,
    and every year we have an outing or two for the kids from the Boston 
    Burn Unit. We all bring our own bikes, mostly touring bikes, all makes,
    and would like to find a better way to secure the kids, to the bikes.
    
    Can someone give me a pointer to a catalog or dealer that has orderable
    CRV harness's ? Hope I'm using the right term. Most bikes are
    "dressers", Goldwings and Ultra Classics mix.
    
    Thanks in advance,

    I have one of these and have had great results with it. It
    is also suitable for snowmobiling, horseback riding etc. I
    bought mine from CRV Sales and Marketing in Alberta Canada
    for a little over $100 about 5 years ago. They took plastic
    over the phone and shipped promptly.
    
    To get the latest # try 1-403-555-1212, Alberta directory
    assistance. I think they were based in Edmonton or Calgary
    at the time (1992).
    
    I tried the WEB but was not successful. Hope this helps.

1374.2A "keeper" for the "sprout", eh?BRAT::J_GALLAGHERWed Jun 04 1997 11:1620
    I had a bike and rode my boy around for years with no problems...
    
    The secret?  I rigged a sissy bar with a pushbutton release seat belt 
    attached to the upright rails by wrapping them around once and clamping
    them down down with a pair of screws and a clamping bar the width of 
    the belt.
    
    It always functioned perfectly and the kid was so relaxed and secure 
    that he fell asleep often but never fell off.  I would also recommend
    some shields to keep her dangling feet away from getting entangled
    in the rear wheel if that's a potential hazard, (I think not on a 
    Wing).  
    
    Anyway, the belt can easily be stored out of sight in the trunk or 
    sissy bar pouch (if you have one), or neatly wrapped around back and 
    buckled and tuck just the "tail" into the trunk or pouch.
    
    Good luck.
