Default Moto Cinch tie downs?

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

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
