Pitbull - Hauler setup

Folks,

I've been all over the world and lived in countries in Asia, Middle East and of course many different states in USA. Throughout, I've met many great people, vendors, sales, and companies and of course...not so good.

I wasnt staying in US for long and I didnt have any tools since all my tools are in overseas at the moment. I asked few vendors near me, but I decided call Pitbull George if they could do the install on my Benz Sprinter. He told me "yeah Sure come by!"

George and Kelly took few hours of their time and started to work on the Sprinter. They took no short cuts, measured everything and even put a bike in the van to make sure it fit. Even the owner, Chris came by and made sure things were right.

And they did this for FREE! that's right folks...for FREE. This was their first time doing the Sprinter so it wasn't like a walk in the park.

George took me around the shop and gave me a tour. My first impression was...I had no idea it was this big! They were in house and everyone was very professional and polite.

I met many experts, good vendors and helpful people but it always came with a cost which is fair enough. Some cost $ but were just complete ..... It is hard to come by those who are just awesome and super good people. I just like to share this with you all.

Pitbull located in AL, Chris (owner), George, and Kelly.

Installed 3 trailer restraints system.

I love me some PitBull products and use their stands, dampers, sprockets and TRS.

But I have to say, I don't see how that setup is going to work. I had 3 of them mounted in my toy hauler, now that I have the RV/trailer combo I put 3 in the trailer. But they are spaced much farther apart.

Have you actually had 3 bikes in there with that setup? Or will you alternate between taking 1 bike and 2 bikes at a time (so you will never actually haul 3 bikes at once)?

love me some PB TRS.

but that setup looks pretty close...

i do like their stuff. picked up a restraint system this year. !

Most of the stands I bought are from BikeLift Italy, one stand already failed (luckily no harm to me or the bike). After seeing these pictures, I decided to throw this italian .... away and order all stands from PitBull. Thank you so much for these impressions. I love to support companies that are still doing real craftmanship and do care about their customers. And if it's "Made in the US", even better!

PitBull ALL DAY! have all my stands and the restrain system from them. Also a few times that I did have to call them to replace pins from 848 to Panigale, they were super helpful and got me exactly what I needed.

I highly doubt that isn't a 3 bike setup, instead it's a single bike and a dual bike setup. I had a similar one for weight distribution in a trailer, I could load a single bike in the middle, or dual bikes, but it helped with weight.

I am sure the OP will correct us, but this is my observation.

You are right.

Its for 2 bikes setup with 1 bike setup optional or if I feel like putting one bike to the side and carry stuff on the other.

You are right. I will never haul 3 bikes at once. Its too close. Its to carry 2 bikes or 1 in the center.

Ah ok, that makes perfect sense, and good idea/planning with the 3 TRS setup.

I have a semi three bike setup in my toy hauler. I say that because the third is for my Honda Grom. This is before the 1299 S was acquired. Still enough room to open the doors to the rest of the trailer as well as the side entrance.

When you use this system do you have to tie down the front?

yes you can but you need to do a little modification to the tail lid. we fitted the bike but forgot that the handle is in the way once you close the tail lid. that is why you see the two holes cut into the tail on the first picture.
