ps Devonboy, i cant see that this towbar will fit an estate, as the spare wheel well is in the floor, i beleive, and will be blocked by the floor plate of the this type of tow bar, but i presume any relevant holes will be marked out in a similar fashion. Just a thought. :-)

The Estate has the dimples in the floor of the load area as well, just lift the pieces of floor trim either side of the spare wheel well and you will see the dimples you need to drill. You will need a cone cutter and will need to go up to 22mm as far as i can remember, but please check before you drill.

Sorry, no input on the tow-bar query.
Just wanted to mention that I hope the bike security chain is thru the REAR wheel and thru any swing arm brace or the drive chain, brake pipes etc and ground locked to the floor so "they who should have their hands chopped off" will have to take as much time as possible in their scummy antics.
Every week I supply copy invoices to customers claiming for the bike parts and accessories fitted to their stolen bikes. Several still have the front wheel safely bolted to their garage floor.

At the end of the day, if the lowlifes want it, they will have it. No matter what we have installed.  All we can do is make it as time consuming as possible. Thru the rear wheel makes it a much longer job and less chance of a "quick in and out" theft. They're lowlife cowards and don't like any kind of hard work.  :y

Good point mate, ta. Thats the front, more security on the rear, as you describe. Plus an Omega bumper touching the Garage door. Plus they wont want it anyway as it a track bike, no road gubbins on it, too much agro for them to shift i would think?
