Author Message   Eboos Posted on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 09:04 am:        I have been getting sick of strapping my bike down every time I load it on my trailer, so I ordered a Pit-Bull TRS from one of my sponsors and made some measurements to have the proper pins made. George from Pit-Bull just sent me the finished pins, and they fit perfectly. I am pleased to say... The Pit-Bull Trailer Restraint System for 99-02 Buells is now available. If you are interested in one, contact me and I'll make it happen for you. Pictures will follow soon.   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 09:50 am:        WAITING FOR "PICTURES" !!!   Nevrenuf Posted on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 09:54 am:        yea, no fair teasing us eboos. of course i'd like to know how it works with the other bikes also.   Eboos Posted on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 10:03 am:        I'll try to get the pictures tomorrow. But for now, here is the TRS from Pit-Bull's website:   Nevrenuf Posted on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 11:03 am:        i've looked at those before but i would have to wonder if anything is required for the front or are they supposed to hold it by itself.   Eboos Posted on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 11:11 am:        Nothing is required for the front. I am still using my front chock, but you don't need to.   Brinnutz Posted on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 03:25 pm:        How much is it? Or should I just google that (on my phone)   Eboos Posted on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 03:41 pm:        It's $279.95 for the full system. An extra pin kit to fit a different bike is $79.95.   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 08:12 pm:        IMHO. "i" would still use OLD SCHOOL tie down methods for "SAFETY" !!!   Preybird1 Posted on Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 08:41 pm:        Would have to agree with beullistic "I" would use old school methods. I am having visions of the bike going sideways under sudden braking. And twisting the mount and falling over. I would like to see it first and see how strong it really is??   Eboos Posted on Sunday, May 23, 2010 - 10:26 am:        Our Boston Moto trailer has hauled 6 bikes to VIR from New Hampshire and back many times with nothing but the TRS holding them without any issues. On my personal trailer, since the decking kind of sucks, I am still going to use some secondary tiedowns to help with the side loading.   Eboos Posted on Monday, May 24, 2010 - 09:44 am:        Damn, I need some batteries for my camera. Anyway, I am hauling my trailer to Loudon tomorrow morning and this will be the first test for my TRS. I'll try to post some pictures on Thursday when I get back.
