Moto Cinch tie downs?

[sv4me]

Anybody on here bought a set of these (http://www.motocinch.co.uk/)?

Having now convinced my Dad he needs a trailer for his work (conveniently large enough to carry 2 bikes :smt038 to me!) think i'll invest in a set as they look the business

wouldn't work on my bike, the pin looks as though it has to go through the pegs mine are solid alu ;)

Just followed the link, there are alternative fasteners that fit over/around sportbike footpegs.
The only observation, there is no restriction on forward-backward movement and the only the control is in the vertical.
Still prefer 4 straps, one at each corner.

As if by magic ;) taaa dah!

I think round the pegs bit is supposed to stop the bike moving forwards/backwards. Its ok doing it with crossers but streetbikes weigh a tad more :scratch:

Ratchet straps are ok but can loosen, especially bouncing up and down on a trailer i've found and like the guy says in the vid ratchets put a fair amount of stress on your suspenders

ahh didn't look that far lol

just use ratchets as well but not as many and not as tight
