Availability of a Tie Down System that Auto Tensions

Question:

Do these auto retract tighten as they are used? For my motorcycle, when the trailer hits a bump, will these automatically tighten? If not, which ones will. Thanks

If your motorcycle is tightened down properly there would be no need for a tie down system that would automatically tension itself. Also, there isn't a system available that is capable of doing this.

If when you hit a bump your motorcycle is working itself loose that would indicate that it wasn't adequately secured.

The part # IMF18804 would do an excellent job securing your motorcycle as long as you used them properly. I always had the best luck running a tie down to each handle bar and then another one over the seat.
