Pit Bull Trailer Restraint-Thru Axle Stand anyone have any feedback on these yet? http://www.pit-bull.com/Images/TrailerRestraintLeftLG.jpg
Looks sweet. Like to know how they compare to the others as well. Pretty pleased with my Strapless Stand but this may be easier to load the bike.
It looks good, but i always wonder about the leverage the bike can get on the swingarm and if it could slightly tweak it in a hard enough rock. I know that is probably way outside reality, but I feel better holding the bike higher up... like the bars :lol
I don't see why the load forces durring normal transport would be any greater when racing. I would think it would have to take such a pounding that a tweaked swingarm would be the least of your worries. IMO
I saw them a while back and I can't wait to get one. I am going to have them in my toy hauler in a couple of months when I decide which bike I will be getting. I hope to have it by the end of october but that really doesn't do you any good right now.
with this type of stand (including the Strapless Stand) I don't think there's really any chance of momentum forming from any sort of rocking motion...the bike just can't move that much.
Those look sweet! The only problem I see is if the position pictured is how the bike is transported......... you would need alot more room to use one of those compared to a strapless stand because the bike is soo far foward of the stand. But if that's just a picture and the rear wheel comes back further and then up like the STS, it could be really nice.
Charlie showed them to me earlier this year, it was all I could do to keep it a secret...they are BadAss..and as far as it taking up more room, only about 4" behind the tire. They are STRONG, and you roll the bike in and CLICK..it is in...no fuss, no BS, you can load your bike by yourself and never reach for a tiedown. Made in AMERICA...by a Contingency paying Sponsor.
Oh I have No doubt that they are a bad ass, well made product that will be very sucessfull. :up: And I know it isn't the same situation for everybody, but even at being only 4" longer behind the tire, I know that I did not have that extra 4" of space and could not have used those Pit Bull stands in the same space I used my 2 STS's. That's all I meant.
Thats some tight quarters.....didn't mean to sound harsh...I just really like them...since I got a bigger trailer I will have some Soon..(I now know what I am getting for Christmas...)
Looking at some other pictures on their site it looks like the bike might be elevated. It would seem that design would put a lot of stress on the floor bolts with the mount arm acting like a lever. Maybe I'm mistaken.
Ok, who decided to make the one for the 675 before they made one for an r6 *confused* http://www.pit-bull.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=23_236&osCsid=3d558e3d5c7d339e161f556a320bbfcf
The pitbull bike looks like it just came out of a race in a coal mine. http://www.pit-bull.com/Images/TrlPopup.jpg
