Motorcycle Carriers

i love my hitch carrier...............i as well have been using one for 10 years or more
never had a problem

sweet setup

whata you riding up in there

 

How's it handle w/out the trailer or a loaded bed? Still amazed, haha.

 

i hate quads
but i like the chimenia

 

I vaguely remember the first test drive with the bike on front and nothing in the bed or being pulled, and I don't remember any issues. I only need the front carrier when I'm pulling a trailer.

In CA, we have a reduced speed limit on the freeway when towing a trailer (55mph vs. 65mph). Additionally, the pooolice are less lenient on the trailer speed limit so lets say fair speed difference is about 59mph to about 73ish. This makes the hitch mount a lot more tolerable for a long trip.

BTW, here's a pic of my homemade unit. It is raised up because I originally made it for my F250 crew LB which was super long. Center support is still low, but everything else is raised about 8 inches.

 

NumNutz,
I have ramps, receiver hitch carrier, and trailers.
Which one i use depends on the situation.
I have these ramps from Harbor Freight I have this carrier but it's only rated for 400 LB. I also have a tilt trailer (5' x 9') that is the easiest to load.
Easiest for long distance is bike in the bed or on the carrier.

 

And this guy makes it look hard, and expensive!

Here is my motorcycle carrier.

 

why tow your car when you can tow you truck with your bike.
