Trailer Organization Ideas

Have any of you guys used the Pitposse helmet bays (helmet sits in a square open shelf). I would like to use one, but I am afraid of transporting a helmet in the rack. It looks like it could bounce out very easily. Why have it if I can't transport with the helmet in the rack?

I was thinking I could use a cargo net (like the ones for the pax seat on a sportbike) to hold the helmets in place during travel. What do you guys think? Better ideas?

 

I use one but I don't put my helmet in it, I use it for my boots, gloves and some misc stuff.

 

where is the best place to get e-track?

 

Just find a local trailer store. They'll have it. Even a semi truck dealer will usually have it.

 

I shopped around and actually found it pretty cheap at my local trailer shop. They have a website - croftrailer.com, but I doubt its worth the savings with shipping. I've gotten a some stuff at etrailer too. Don't know what their price on e track is, but they were competative on everything else.

The actual d rings were cheapest at Tractor Supply. If they have one in your area I've found lots of good trailer stuff there. When you do get e track, buy your nuts and bolts there. They sell them by the pound and its way cheaper than the hardware store.

 

Another option for e-track

I got my e-track at harbor frieght

 

I have also seen it at Tractor Supply Store.

 

I was there last week.....I've always gotten the D rings there in the past, but the price has gone up a few bucks

 

thanks for the great ideas guys. just picked up an enclosed 6x10 and needed some ideas to make it a useable trackday trailer

 

If its close enough to the roof, it can't bounce out when transporting.

 

I use the Gladiator Rack hanging baskets. Works great, and they're like $20. I can fit a helmet, a set of boots, and a pair of gloves. Or two helmets.

They're effin great.

I can post a pic tomorrow if you'd like.

 

I use the same. Have my boots, helmet, and gloves in there and then I have one f their double hooks and I hang my suit on it via heavy duty hanger. They work awesome.

 

I've got the basket like above, plus two medium hooks for stands & two deep hooks for tires. great stuff!~

 

Rather than start a new thread, figured Id bump this up. My idea is to use ETrack, but I want to keep it flexible with bike configurations, is there any "temporary" wheel chocks that dont cost an arm and a leg? Id love a Pit Bull stand, but only one of the 3 bikes could use it. Basically looking for something that can be held down with pressure from the straps, but dunno if anything like that exists

Probably a stupid question I know the answer to, but if I would need a chock of some kind, even if I did a 4 point tie down right? Can the wheels turn if they're tied off of the fork tubes?

 

www.boltiton.com works for me as removable tie down point
