Anybody on here bought a set of these?

Having now convinced my Dad he needs a trailer for his work (conveniently large enough to carry 2 bikes

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.

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

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
