anyone use a motorcycle carrier?

I have a shitty carrier that is a beast for me to use...looking for another trailer hitch style single bike carrier...... any thoughts? Pics?

My bike is a pig, the truck is lifted and the ramp is too short. What could possibly go wrong?

 

That's cool. How do you get it on and off of the carrier? Ramps?

 

Yes...a simple ramp clips on and you pop the bike off. Pretty functional. I had to buy this particular one out of need...i used to have a nice aluminium one.

 

I'll have to get something if I want to take my '15 WR250F with me where I can ride it once there, provided I get a camper or shell put on the new truck.

They work really well, Duane. I used to bring my wrf450 all over hells half acre with me. I highly recommend you get a full aluminum one like I had before this crap one. It held up for years and was almost as nice the day I gave it away (with a bike).

 

Wonder how many tickects are given out because truck signal/brake lights are pretty well useless

 

They actually aren't as bad as it looks.... I took the shot from my garage looking at a weird angle.
I have seen some that have them mounted on the carrier too, not a bad idea..

 

I had an adjustable one years ago, clamped onto the bumper. Used it to haul a '71 Honda CL70 and later a Kawa 175 enduro on my '74 Pinto. My new Yamaha is under 250 lbs

We have a Rage Powersports one that we use with my dads F-350 sometimes. Its a steel frame with aluminum frames and works great for two bikes. They make a single rail one if you only have one bike.

Ive always wondered about these. Ive been skeptical, so I just keep my bed clear.

But then I dont get to buy all the cool bed accessories that everyone makes..

 

the double is the one I used to have...different name, but identical. worked great!!

 

Have you ever heard of a trailer? Rumor has it, that they are pretty good for hauling things...just saying

 

I have one of those and it works great! I carry my sport bike on it and I only notice a small difference in the trucks handling when everything is loaded down.

 

I am not clever enough for that. My trailer drags my mpg down...the bike isn't even noticed on a hauler. Not to mention the obvious size diff...lol

 

Thanks tips...

 

Its a few years later to post this...but I had the same problem. I designed my own lift...solved the issue. Interested send me a note and Ill send the details etc.
