Please find time to do a trailer setup video if you can. I’m interested to see what type of features your setup has and what all you have added to it to make it more usable for track days, and or race days.
Brian I enjoy your videos, if there is any video I need to see before I do a job and I look it up and there are 100 selections of how to do the job, if your one of them I’ll watch yours and go do the job. Not that it’s ever necessary for me but there have been times where I say wow that would make it easier. Your spot on on describing things in detail properly and thoroughly.
no i don't - you just sounded like an idiot being so happy ... he's a father!!! ... on a video about bikes - do you run around feeling pregnant women's stomachs too - what the hell dude - what kind of guy are you
Thanks Van! Cleared up my misconception. How many times have I had to become a contortionist to get around straps and get to things in a loaded trailer? I didn’t know the plate stayed and the holding hardware moved.
Easily one of the best trailer "mods" you can purchase. I will never go back to straps again. Btw, I hope you're loading up to head down to Barber this weekend!
I would love to but we are doing a weekend up north with the family. Heading to my In-laws place at Higgins Lake for one day, my Son Max and I will drive over to the Van cabin to ride moto with my Brothers and Nephew on the other. Enjoy your weekend at Barber! - Van
Hey Van. It was between Pitbull & T-rex. You made my decision easier. Ever seen this set up with 2 Pitbulls on an F-150 on the track? Is it even recommended to drive with the bed door down? Thanks in advance.
This is great innovation on the part of PitBull. I don't like their price, but for moving a bike, this may be worth the cost. Do they recommend this for open trailers? Or does it not matter?
So for people like me that hauls bike for a living I would have to purchase many of these for the different bikes I'd be hauling on my trailer? You don't have universal fits?
Correct, based on the design this requires a set of pins that fit into the rear axle. While there may be some crossover it is very limited. Most bikes require a unique set of pins. - Van
We have over 100,000 miles logged with these and can tell you there is no better way to haul a motorcycle. The front end will stay planted and the forks will absorb any of that energy. - Van
That trailer was a 28" x 7" with a v nose. We used this trailer for sleds and bikes for 8 years. I bet I put close to 100,000 miles on that thing. - Van
could these be installed on a truck? if so, I have a short bed. would I have to leave the tailgate down?? not sure how comfortable I feel with that. last thing I want is my bike to end up falling while traveling. or hurting someone.
@@sportbiketrackgear Hi Van, I called them directly right after watching this vid. They said dont have one but, they do have one that fits the ZXR1100/1200 rear axle. He said they can make one for the ZX-11 from it. Theyre really great people and have been really responsive and understanding.
I have logged well over 100,000 miles using the Pit Bull trailer restraints over the years and have never strapped the front end down. Strapping the front down is 100% unnecessary. - Van
Xtina K The bike specific pin kits accommodate to how the bikes are, so it should be fine. I'm guessing the pin for the 300 probably covers the axle like a socket
The Ninja 300 kit features a "socket pin" on both sides, with an additional cup washer on one side that gets mounted semi-permanently under the head of the axle. This will make up for the rather shallow hex on that side of the bike. The socket pin will then engage both the shallow hex *and* the cup washer on that side.
Would like to use this system in my trailer in conjunction with my front wheel chock that is already in the trailer. Because the rear axle may move due to chain tension adjustments - will the pit bull restraint work if the front wheel is in a wheel chock but the rear could move due to chain adjustments?
Can you remove the chock? You won't need it anymore. The front of the bike will vary in distance from the rear since you're moving the rear axle when doing chain adjustments.
I'd e-mail Pit Bull directly. I'd assume that the existing Daytona/2016 STR pins would fit as nothing has changed axle wise that I'm aware of. My buddy and I were responsible for Pit Bull revising the R3 pins when Yamaha revised them midway through the 2015 model year and they didn't fit my R3. They're quick on responding and correcting things.
Maaaannn, that's crazy, nothing on the front wheel? Noone's experienced failures? I have a flat trailer, so if something fails the bike is ON the interstate. Can I trust my babies' lives with this?
We have sold a ton of these with no reports of issues. That said we have hauled our bikes countless miles using the system and never had one single problem. - Van
There's a post somewhere with a guy talking about driving into a ditch and rolling his truck with a TRS + bike in the bed and the bike was still firmly planted in place after the roll.
Dunno. Confused. With decent straps you can tow anything anywhere. Feel like this is satirical over engineering...solving a problem that does not exist...
Trust me, these restraint systems are worth every penny. Easy loading and unloading, no tension on the suspension front or rear, and they free up a lot of space in your trailer with no straps to have to step over or maneuver around.

One of the few guys I watch on TH-cam that makes sense, keep you at mind and knows how to ride. Plus a father!#keepumcoming
i like him too but anybody can impregnate a woman ... being a father is not such a noteworthy achievement
me2ontube the plus part was the father....#skeetskeet
you love being a dad i get it - good for you
me2ontube troll much?
no i don't - you just sounded like an idiot being so happy ... he's a father!!! ... on a video about bikes - do you run around feeling pregnant women's stomachs too - what the hell dude - what kind of guy are you
I've secured my RSV4 for years using this system - so good!!!
Nothing beats a Pit Bull man! - Van
Great Demo Brother!!...Appreciate your Time in Sharing!!
I’m impressed.
This is an amazing product. - Van
Exactly what I'm looking for!
No better way to haul a motorcycle! - Van

Thanks everyone, I'm sold!

Yes I have seen these used in the bed of a pick up several times. - Van
hi you definitely dont want to destroy your heated grips. this is the way., great charteristics
No better way to haul a motorcycle than the Pit Bull Trailer Restraint System! We use them for all of our bikes and have for years now. - Van
This is great innovation on the part of PitBull. I don't like their price, but for moving a bike, this may be worth the cost. Do they recommend this for open trailers? Or does it not matter?
You can use this in a closed trailer, open trailer or the back of a pick up bed. - Van
So for people like me that hauls bike for a living I would have to purchase many of these for the different bikes I'd be hauling on my trailer? You don't have universal fits?

If i install this in a pick up bed, what stops the front end from bouncing up? Or is that not much of a concern?
We have over 100,000 miles logged with these and can tell you there is no better way to haul a motorcycle. The front end will stay planted and the forks will absorb any of that energy. - Van
What size trailer is that? That was an ideal set up for what I am trying to accomplish.
That trailer was a 28" x 7" with a v nose. We used this trailer for sleds and bikes for 8 years. I bet I put close to 100,000 miles on that thing. - Van

About to buy a cargo trailer, if the d deal goes through, and this will be my first addition.
No better way to haul a bike. - Van
I need this in my life!!!! But, my ZX-11's axle bolts are far from normal.
Sorry to say they do not offer a trailer restraint pin kit for this bike. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Hi Van, I called them directly right after watching this vid. They said dont have one but, they do have one that fits the ZXR1100/1200 rear axle. He said they can make one for the ZX-11 from it.

How far does the tip of the handle to the rear tire stick out?
The size of the rear tire does change the distance a little bit. That said it will stick out approximately eight inches. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Okay, good to know. Thank you.
I wonder if you can put these on tow trucks got to be better than how they strap them down ooo looks brutal to see what they do
There are way too many options with the axle pins to make this possible IMO. - Van
Im still strapping the front down so its not jumping up and down. Silly not to take that precaution
I have logged well over 100,000 miles using the Pit Bull trailer restraints over the years and have never strapped the front end down. Strapping the front down is 100% unnecessary. - Van
Brilliant!
This is the best way to haul a motorcycle for sure! - Van
anyone have experience with these on heavier bikes, like a 600 lb adventure bike?
Pit Bull produces these for Harley's so you will not have any issue. Everything them make is overbuilt and lasts forever. - Van
The ninja 300 doesn't have a hollow axle on one side. How would the pin fit on it?

just remove the chock. like nathan says, you will not need it anymore.
Absolutely no need for a wheel chock
I wonder if you. Oils mount then in a truck bed ? 🤔

That must be a joke, the bikes will rotate on the stand in a accident.
You are 100% wrong. Thousands of people are using these (including us) with excellent results. No better way to haul a bike than this. - Van
what the hell's going on with youtube - can't add this to favorites, won't play in high def - they just get worse and worse all the time
