I've always thought that it is extremely important to secure the rear wheel while trailering !! If that back end 'hops' around... things could get ugly!!1 IMHO
Very cool setup and very imaginable! The only time I trailer is when I have to take to the shop for something and it's broken or storming but the straps are a PITA!!!

Back end doesn't move. A guy had the system on a clam shell type trailer, the trailer broke free and hit a guard rail. He said before he opened the clam shell he didn't know what to expect, much to his surprise the bike was fine and the rear end had only moved about
1 1/2 ". If you study the set up and have an understanding of mechanics and physics you'll see that the connection is rearward of the fulcrum, thus not allowing any movement.
Nice invention and is doable. I probably will go that route if I was going to trailer my Bagger or Sporty. Only negative part I see is 4 Master Locks on a bike meaning 8 on 2 bikes. IMO, Ridiculous. Even though I'll strap down the rear end as an safety precaution cuz physic equation suck sometimes.
