Alabama thread!

Itd be for me and Anna lol.

 

@gixxerphil thinking id hitch carry the KLR. Bad idea? Too heavy of a bike?

 

I think your vehicle hitch rating would be more of a concern. My bike carrier has a 600lb rating. The KLR is around 480lbs, don't know if that's wet weight or not.

 

its 450lb for base model wet.As far as the hitch is concerned its my welding skills lol. Ill have to beef it up big time. So there's no knowing what the rating will be so it would be trail and error lol. I could just build something so ridiculous there's no way it would break haha.

 

That would work. You can find the hitch carriers on fb for $150ish bucks. Make sure it's the 600lb one....most are 300/400lb ones. The HF aluminum one is 400lb, I think they do have a 600lb one though.

This is the one I picked up

What’s the tongue weight rating on your truck?

 

Sup Murph
I have a 6500lb tow rating, so I assume 650lbs. Always thought tongue was 10% of tow.

 

i wouldn't think that's the case since my truck and your truck have the same tow package yet mine cant tow as much due to engine size.

If truck was stock that is lol.

 

just found this pic on HF carrier website. Under reviews. Dude said it worked great.

 

Yeah, I don't know if our tongue weight rating would be any different. I have always just stayed at a 10% difference and that may very well be wrong

 

@cubie and @Brian422

Didn't one of you buy some SA or PSA 15rd Glock mags? How are you liking them?

 

I bought the PSA ones. I’m having issues with my mag ejecting on rounds. I think it might be my fault though. I kinda marked up my gs mag release and it messed up the catch in the mag. It didn’t mess up my oe mag though so not sure. Everyone else I read and seen videos arnt having problems. I think it’s just because of my mag release isn’t oe

 

Is it a poly or metal mag release? I was just reading up on the PSA ones and they suggest the poly mag release. I like that simply b/c I have a bunch of factory mags.

 

Poly

 

I made a sharp edge on the mag catch and it messed up the catch on the max enough

 

I really wish Glock would make a 15rd mag.

 

I’ll send you a pic when I get home

 

For the Slimline 43X/48. They only make 10rd mags. I blame the states with round restrictions

 

Will the 43 hold 15?
