I'm setting up a enclosed trailer for an 899, anyone have recommendations for wheel chocks that fit the 899 wheel?

Go with the rear rim attachment from pitbull

I would look into the baxely sport chock.

The Pit Bull trailer restraint system or the Strapless Transport stands are AWESOME, and eliminate the need for straps. Many benefits of this including ease of loading along with not having the suspension compressed during transport and potentially blowing your fork seals (seen it MANY times at the track). We've used the Strapless stands in our race trailer for 10 years now, never had a bike fall over, and it's so easy to get them loaded in probably saves 10 minutes per bike compared to using a chock and straps.

Pitbull for sure.

The pitbull system is pretty cool. Do you still need a chock for the front wheel, or can you just run a strap through the rim to keep the bike from bouncing?

You don't need anything else, the stand secures the bike by the rear axle and holds it in place. I've seen people still strapping their bikes down after putting them in the stand, but I think it's totally unnecessary.

I use the Strappless Trailer Stand. It is awesome! Takes seconds to secure the bike from the rear axle.

I looked the videos of that and it looks like a perfect solution!

Strapless Trailer Stand update

FYI - I have been in contact with the owner of Strapless Trailer Stands and he is in the process of making the fitment for the bar that goes in the rear axle for the 899. My local Ducati dealer sent him the critical dimensions that he needs. I have already ordered one. I have 2 of these stands and I love them! trust me - your bike is really locked in and will go no where with no straps at all.

FYI - when mounting the base plate on your trailer floor, i set mine directly on top of one of the structural frame members and bolted it to that. Felt it was much stronger than just bolting it to the wood flooring. Same would apply if you use the Pitbull system. Both are good systems but i think the STS is much easier to use and to line up. takes me seconds.

Hope this helps

I love the STS too, I think the big difference is the Pit Bull is designed for a single person to use comfortably on their own, whereas the STS stand is more of a 2-person job in most cases. If you mount the STS so the bike is facing nose-first into the trailer, then the bike has to be rolled in past the stand and the stand installed behind the bike, and then the bike backed into the stand. That's a problem for many with small trailers and/or race bikes without kickstands on them. The other option (what we've done in our trailer) is to mount the stand so the bike is backed into the trailer, that way the stand can be mounted in the trailer before the bike is put in. However not many are comfortable backing a bike into a trailer on their own without dropping it. I've done it a couple hundred times probably and never dropped one, but it seems to make some people nervous!

Sts is a one man show. Just stand in the front, grab the handlebars and roll it on. I do mine by myself all the time in seconds. The girl on the video does it by herself with the straps off the top of her bikini!

The Strapless Transport axle pins for the 899 Panigale are finally available, we will have 4 of them in stock tomorrow! If you need a trailer stand these are awesome:

I've always used Condor stands, Canyon dancers, and straps.... Never have had an issue though. Some of those strapless stands look nice though.

Yeah it's one of those deals where once you use one, you'll NEVER want to use a strap again! We used to strap 6 bikes down in our race trailer every weekend, it probably took 1/2 hour just to get them all secured. And then you can't easily walk between or around the bikes any longer because there are straps running every whichway. Once we got the Strapless stands, it took about 5 minutes and there's a lot more room to pack other stuff in around the bikes.
