One note- when I had that trailer (it was my first m/c trailer, I have a 16' enclosed trailer now) I put Pit Posse/Pingel-style chocks on it and was able to put 3 sets of mounting plates in the 3 bike positions (left, center, right) at the right spacing for the bikes to co-exist, and then could swap from a single-bike with one chock to a two-bike setup with two chocks in like 30 seconds. Coupled with a cheap ATV ramp as wide as the trailer it was a very cheap and easy trailering setup. Add some nice strapping points around the edge of the trailer and it'll do the job well for a long time.
If you're planning to keep it a while, adding additional bolt-in bracing to the deck isn't a bad idea, or even just some 2x4 stiffening cross-members to help keep the trailer from "taco-ing" when you strap down the bikes.
For 77 dollars? Heck no. You could build yourself something more versatile for less. On amazon there is this set of resistance bands for 29 dollars that includes 4 other resistance bands plus additional accessories including an ankle cuff that you can use for the elbow cuff. You can buy a piece of PVC pipe cut it to about the size of your 6 iron put two of these grips, which cost $7, on the pvc using an adhesive. Find something similar and smaller than this and screw it into the pvc and you’ve just created exactly what they’re trying to sell you. All told you’ll probably spend about 40 bucks and you’ll get the added benefit of regular length resistance bands
I hope this helps you, I’m not knocking the product it’s just absurdly expensive for what you’re getting. There are many exercises you can do with the extra resistance bands with hands. Rotational exercises using the band can increase your core strength and hip strength.
I made a desk like this when I was in school. Just use two lengths of rope or cord instead of a chain. One on each side. You can buy accessory cord or paracord that has 500 pound break strength, so that is plenty strong. If you're paranoid, buy some spectra or dyneema cord with a break strength of a couple of tons.
To attach it you can use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Progrip-822640-Surface-Mount-4-Pack/dp/B000HAEPAO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1422330938&sr=8-7&keywords=d+ring
and just tie the string to them.
eta: If you do find that you you pull out the screws, you could always just glue a 1" thick square on top of surface and then sink a longer screw.
