DBI Strapless Tiedown

[@lucasarbuckle7205]

easiest diy i've seen. no threads to loosen and no time consuming fab, thanks

[@ritcheymt]

One improvement I've seen on systems like this is to add a no-lockdown homemade plywood box underneath the engine block. That way the bike's suspension won't bounce along with the trailer springs. No bounce equals less stress on the foot pegs, and no sideways shift when the trailer hits a bump.

I converted a jet ski trailer into a dual dirt bike hauler and used this method along with harbor freights chock stand and it is ROCK SOLID without putting any strain on the front shocks. I placed my bottom hooks an inch or so forward of the foot pegs so that it pulls the bike into the chock. Great design!

Would be nice to be able to find part 1 of this since you said this video is a part 2

[@randomreviews595]

I think if the front tire were to slip or bounce it could tip to the right and slide down but if you just put a tire chock on the front..it wouldn't ever fall with this system.

[@shawnlathrop852]

I have been running this set up for a couple years now. Without the wheel chock, the handlebars would turn and the bike would start to lean. I installed a wheel chock and haven't had a single issue since. And i have put over 5,000 miles with it loaded this way. Cross country a couple times.

Thank you will be trying this for mine and the wifes bikes now.

[@zusanlist3623]

Fantastic idea. Thanks for posting and sharing the knowledge!

[@thetruthserum2816]

I think I'm going to use this setup with e-track...

[@TN_HondaDad]

I like the idea but if you had to load two bikes, your anchor points would now be off to fit two bikes?

[@fernandogallegos8662]

Looks like a good idea! Might put it to the test on my trailer

[@aaronkrusen221]

Doing this on my trailer right now. Have 1/4" steel strips about 4 inches wide laid down and double bolted to the frame rails in 5 spots along the length. Will be bolting down my big d rings with 3/8" bolts and using 3/16" 800lb capacity chains with 750lb capacity locked carabiners. Overkill? Sure but I'm assured nothing will break lol

[@firefighter440]

How did this turn out for you?

[@dustinsattarelle5783]

Didnt like this at first sight seen, but I'm definatly a fan of this most simple most adjustable and if ur mounting it onto a trailer it ain't bulky like some strapless systems. Might have to do it.

[@Ro6entX]

Pretty good idea, wish it could be done for sport bike though.

[@bartholmligature4992]

What is the rating of the carabiners you’re using? I would be concerned of them being the failure point in a collision, where forces are multiplied) and your motorcycle(s) become deadly projectiles.

[@Buddycoop1]

My straps snap at times even though I don't snug them too tight. I was thinking that chains might be the way to go but nobody seems to use them so that's why I've been leery...I may try it though..

[@motorcycleadventure3720]

excelent idea. thank you.

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

Now this is a dam good idea, for a dirt bike.

[@jacksondiversi2423]

Next level brilliance

[@relarson]

I like this approach and have incorporated into my enclosed trailer setup. What are the pitfalls? I'm concerned that the popping back and forth as you drive will put stress in the d rings.

[@Zaha1Cielo]

Randall Larson ...now that you've had this strap on system in place for 5 months now.how are they holding up?getting ready to install them my self.

[@KTMmarkus]

Talk to us Randall!!! =P

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

loose and leaning, got it.

[@hardenduro]

Good idea. Simple an cheep to build

[@scottloder7976]

bloody legend you should put a kit together and make a few bucks

[@adventureswithnickhead6984]

WLL on carabiner?

[@justincallaway402]

Great idea. Thanks

[@kannonbarcikowski9309]

has it ever fell

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

Does this only work on KTMs? 😆

[@steveyoung8992]

I like the idea but doesn't the bike still bounce around specially on rough rds

[@arthurbooth6844]

Done doughnuts in my truck with a ktm 500 exc in the back, bike didn't move

[@vinuezaer]

57.5 inches back

[@justindwyer3832]

If you hit a bump and back tire moves to the side, bike is going to fall

[@ritcheymt]

I'd trust this more if I hadn't had a Yamaha enduro's foot peg snap under me once. I'd never even jumped that bike.

[@J-RallySite]

slick!!

[@scottloder7976]

lol should have waited to the end to post

[@TheRednav1]

If you have tie down anchors built into your trailer or toy hauler, you can build your own system using standard 2x2 steel square posts, purchased here: smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008J52HC2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I made our tie down system for $150, and it transports 4 dirt bikes. You can see how to build it here: photos.app.goo.gl/zTzcnSG23NwojJZT7

Nice
