    It depends on the bike and length of travel. With the dirt bike I use cams. With a Harley I use heavy duty ratchets. The weight of those things demand more strength and lock down power. I also use Pit Bull system in my trailer. No straps is the best!

    Pull out the free end, attach, hit the button and it retracts, pulling out all the slack, couple pulls on the handle, done.
    If they had locking hooks, they would be absolutely perfect.

    I installed bolt-on versions of those on my boat trailer last year. Wish I'd done it years ago. They are excellent.
