Default Roberts "MOTORCYCLE LATCH DOWN SYSTEM" looking for users

I am very interested in this MOTORCYCLE LATCH DOWN SYSTEM

http://www.robertsprod.com/


I metthis guy last year in Reno and his product looks great. He has been to several bike shows and has now been around for awhile. I am looking for someone who has one and has used it for awhile... Is it as good as it looks.. In Reno - it looked to be a great answer to securing a bike "whereever" I saw several Big guys try and pull the bike over - very solid... On another post I was looking for this guy - a few posters said "I would still use a pair of straps" It sure would not hurt but looks to be over kill - I think we are all just so used to straps that if it does not have at least two on it - looks odd??

So, any users out there with a good review??

You are right, we are all used to straps - and I won't give them up. We use Kuryakyn tie downs fastened to the spot light brackets with their provided fasteners and they work great.

The Robert's Products system looks unique, but there is no way I'd introduce thosestresses tothe frame.Hard braking and bumps (like railroad tracks) can really apply some stresses to the frame with that set up.
