    I'd like to get a cvt tent and rack but removing for motorcycles on the weekend and storing the massive tent is a problem.

    Can I haul 2 dirt bikes on the hitch with a 2 bike carrier? Done it with a raptor just never the taco.

    I've seen it done. Just depends on how much the bikes weigh I would guess.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    with a steel rack it should be fine, but most of the ones I see are aluminum. As far as the tent get a harken hoister 200lb. My only complaint is you need about 75-100lbs in it to hoist it up or down without tangling the lines or causing problems. hence the canopy and ramp in it. Other than that it's great. Some of the hardware is a little weak for my taste, I wouldn't push the weight limit on these.

    hoist won't work for my garage as its basically a moto/bike/printmaking workshop.

    I guess i was mostly worried about the tongue weight for the factory hitch isnt it 500#? Each moto is about 240# plus the 50-100# of the rack puts it over weight.
