Can someone lead me to the promised land on best price for this thing? Saw a few videos and I'm sold. I'd like to buy 4 for my trailer but man... That's expensive. Thanks
I know they are better, but I used to take up to 5 bikes to the track in my toy box, and often would take friends bikes, so I never invested in them.....tie downs are pretty cheap. If I always went with the same bike or two and didn't have friends come along, I may have invested.
or you could spend thousands racing and hopefully earning some Pitbull contingency https://www.pit-bull.com/racer-contingency That might be the cart before the horse kinda situation

See, my philosophy is just the opposite. I'm not using straps... you want your bike in my trailer? Better go buy pins for it.
Guys I actually know someone who has maybe a dozen of these new. Got it of business and is sitting on stuff. Let me look into this.
I am looking to haul 5 bikes in a trailer that I am converting the front half into "living quarters" so to speak. I have 10 by 8.5 feet of room to deal with. The only way I can hold all 5 at one time would be to have these. Otherwise the best I have ever done was e track load bars with front wheel catches that I welded up and made holes for tie downs. It was a miserable way to load, tie and secure bikes. It worked but I hated it.
10 x 8.5 of space for 5 bikes? Full size crotch rockets? Keep in mind, the TRS plate and the 'stand' so to speak that latches to the plate will add about a foot to the length of each bike. You need about 90" of length for each bike, IIRC. I just put (4) TRS's in a 7 x 16 v-nose.
I'm hoping that the extra 1.5 wide gets me a third across. Then 2 back and splitting the 3. Max 3 sportbikes with 2 xr100s but more than likely 2 with a supermoto and the 2 100s
When we drove from Cincy to Salt Lake City in '09, we put 6 sportbikes in a 7 x 14 (non v-nose)...12 stands, 12 spare rims/tires, generators, toolboxes, etc etc....We stacked them in sideways and basically leaned them up against each other like a can of sardines.
Are you saying you can reverse the connection? I feel dense but I'm having trouble seeing it. Wanna maximize my space for bikes in the trailer.
Yep, the plate goes in front of the rear wheel and you put the handle portion on the bike backwards. The bikes will jump up a little - more than the regular position - but it works great if you need to save room. I had to do it that way in the pickup or I'd have had to mount the TRS on the tailgate.
