I would say the most Heavy Duty system I've seen is the pit bull restraint system, and I've heard great things about it.

But you'd have to mount it in the bed, also the harbor freight system is nice for its price

We have 5 in the Boston Moto trailer. They work unbelievably well. Never an issue in 3 years.

I would just use tie downs, but that's just me.

If I owned your bike I'd just tie a rope to it and drag it the 1200 miles.










But that's just me.

Check out the Baxter Sport Chock, boy are they nice.

But I just use tie downs and a Canyon Dancer.

There is something wrong with that?

I just can't justify the cost of a restraint system when tiedowns are so cheap and have never let me down. If you think they will fail...double up. It's still way cheaper and doesn't require permanent modification to a truck or trailer.

For a truck use a condor and tie downs. Ancra ratchet straps.

Just make sure you have enough tow straps. Or else this will happen.

I think the pitbull for a truck is a mistake. For a trailer for sure, but not a truck bed.

Much better off with a condor chock and straps.

No, I'm just fucking with you.

Good tie downs won't slip, but you need to block the front wheel too. I use a plywood head board with 2x4 blocks. Never had an issue.

[korndogg]

Never had a problem with canyon dancer and GOOD straps.

Me either...Had the track bike strapped in like this for a week straight while driving 50 miles a day...never got loose.
