If you already use a Pit Bull Trailer Restraint System (TRS) to secure your motorcycle during transport, you may be wondering whether you can continue using it after fitting an L74 rear quick release kit.

The answer is yes. You can continue using a Pit Bull TRS system with an L74 rear quick release kit, provided you use the correct securing pins and the Wide version of the Pit Bull TRS frame.

L74 supplies dedicated securing pins for use with our rear quick release systems, while Pit Bull also offers compatible pins for certain L74 kits.

However, there is one very important requirement:

You MUST use the Wide Pit Bull TRS frame. The standard-width frame is not compatible with either manufacturer’s securing pins.

Why Do I Need the Wide Pit Bull TRS Frame?

The L74 rear quick release system uses a different rear spindle and axle arrangement from the motorcycle’s original equipment.

To allow customers to continue using a Pit Bull Trailer Restraint System, compatible securing pins are available to suit the L74 quick release arrangement.

These securing pins require the additional width provided by the Wide Pit Bull TRS frame.

The standard-width Pit Bull frame is not suitable for this setup.

This applies whether you purchase your securing pins from L74 or directly from Pit Bull. Both options require the Wide frame.

If you already own a Pit Bull TRS system, it’s important to check which frame you have.

Can I Keep My Existing Pit Bull TRS System?

Yes, provided you have the correct Wide frame and compatible securing pins.

You don’t necessarily need to replace your entire trailer restraint system simply because you’re fitting an L74 rear quick release kit.

If you already own the Wide Pit Bull TRS frame, you may only need to purchase the appropriate securing pins.

However, if you currently have the standard-width frame, you’ll need to replace it with the Wide version.

Pit Bull sells the TRS frame separately, so you can purchase the correct frame without necessarily having to buy an entirely new restraint system.

Where Can I Buy Pit Bull TRS Securing Pins for an L74 Quick Release Kit?

If you want to use a Pit Bull Trailer Restraint System with your L74 rear quick release kit, compatible securing pins are available from L74 and, for certain motorcycle models, directly from Pit Bull.

If you’re unsure which pins are suitable for your particular motorcycle and quick release kit, please contact us before ordering.

Pit Bull Securing Pins

Pit Bull also manufactures securing pins compatible with certain L74 rear quick release kits.

However, Pit Bull does not offer compatible securing pins for every motorcycle model covered by the L74 range.

If you prefer to purchase directly from Pit Bull or through one of their distributors, we recommend checking that they offer a suitable option for your particular L74 kit before ordering.

As with the L74 securing pins, Pit Bull’s L74-compatible pins require the Wide TRS frame.

Important: Regardless of which manufacturer’s securing pins you choose, the standard-width Pit Bull TRS frame will not work. You must use the Wide version.

Where Can I Buy the Wide Pit Bull TRS Frame?

Pit Bull offers the Trailer Restraint System frame separately, which is useful if you already own a TRS system but need to change from the standard-width frame.

On the Pit Bull website, the frame is available with different width options.

Make sure you select the WIDE option, not Normal.

You can view the frame here:

If you’re replacing an existing standard-width frame, check that the replacement is suitable for the rest of your TRS installation.

What Should I Check Before Ordering?

Before purchasing securing pins for your L74 quick release kit, we recommend checking the following:

1. Your Pit Bull TRS frame: Confirm that you have the Wide version, not the standard-width frame.
2. Your motorcycle: Check the make, model and year.
3. Your L74 quick release kit: Make sure you’re ordering securing pins suitable for your particular setup.
4. Your existing TRS components: If you’re changing from a standard-width frame, check that the replacement frame is suitable for your installation.

If you’re considering buying Pit Bull’s own securing pins, remember that their range only covers certain L74 quick release kits.

If you’re unsure about compatibility, please contact us before ordering.

We’re happy to help you establish what you’ll need to continue using your Pit Bull Trailer Restraint System.

In Summary: Will My Pit Bull TRS Work With an L74 Rear Quick Release Kit?

Yes. You can continue using a Pit Bull Trailer Restraint System with an L74 rear quick release kit, provided you use compatible securing pins and the Wide Pit Bull TRS frame.

L74 supplies dedicated securing pins for its quick release systems, while Pit Bull also offers compatible pins for selected L74 kits.

If you already own the Wide frame, you may only need the correct securing pins.

If you currently have the standard-width frame, you’ll need to change to the Wide version, regardless of which manufacturer’s pins you choose.

You can view our L74 Pit Bull TRS securing pins or the Pit Bull TRS frame for more information.
