Hey guys, my dad has a 2004 GS500F and he's looking to pick up a pitbull trailer restraint for our enclosed trailer. I have one for my Duc and I ABSOLUTELY love it, however, in order to craft for for the GS500, pitbull requires that I fill out a measurement sheet. Here at home I don't have the tools required to get an accurate measurement on what they require.
I was wondering if anyone could be kind enough to get me the measurements off of one of their bikes? Having these measurements sent into pitbull will also benefit the GS500 community as a whole as they'll be able to produce restraints for anyone who wants one for their bike.
If anyone is interested, this is how the restraint system works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzPzRvkgoIA
The measurement sheet is attached, I believe since this bike is a solid axle, options A and B confuse me. Instead of having a pin that goes through the axle, they create a cup that goes around the bolt on the outside, so I guess this would be option F.
I'd like to thank everyone that helps out in advance, once I email these measurements to pitbull, they'll make these possible to purchase as they'll be able to mass produce them. Since apparently I'm the first to ask for one of these for a GS500 they're asking me for the measurements, and as I already mentioned, I don't have the tools to get such accurate readings required for fabrication.
Thanks again

Too much work and probably too much money
This is what I use (use coupon code 93504308) to get it at $45. I have mine mounted to a sheet of plywood in my shop where I park it

Money wise it's not that big of a deal, plus a strapless system is so nice to have in the trailer. I'll just bring the bike to a mechanic, I'd imagine he has the tools to get such measurements. Everyone I've talked to who has used the pitbull restraint has said it's the best money they've ever spend. You literally roll it into the mount and it's done.
