Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

that is a first

 

@blackohio post up in here if youdo anything more with the bike

 

heading over now to get the tkc80 put on for mixed use until i decide if i SM it or not.

 

SM!

 

i had a 625smc for a few years that was a fun bike. loaded up.

 

Sweet trailer. I sold my drz400sm and converted my yz for a couple years and raced it. But have since realized i miss having one to ride every chance i get hence my 690 converted now

 

We intend to do that with this:



Just gotta find the right hitch haul first

 

Leaning towards this: https://racknrideusa.com/product/rack-n-ride-mx-carrier/

 

started seeing videos for this on IG recently. looks pretty nice

 

Meh. Id look at one of the hitch hauler lift setups. Then just get an adapter to get down to the correct hitch size

 

Uh, wut?

 

Tying down by the pegs is awesome...so long as the frame posts don’t bend and the safety wire i put on the ties doesn’t come loose lol

 

Still havent tied down by the pegs. Not sure how i feel about it yet. I should pull the e-track off my trailer and give it a try though

 

Don’t like the tires hanging

 

i have the mx hauler as well. and it’s kinda a pain in the dick to use. i have a high clearance rear bumper so the bike is about a foot lower than the platform when down. then the bike is crazy high when up. i rarely use it.

in other news. 4.1 ti slip on install, put the aluminum case on the voyager.

 

Yeah i could see how its a pain with our trucks having high hitches. A car could use the ground clearance though.

 

Yeah we’re worried about ground clearance as it is with the subie

 

Hence i think the ultimate mx hauler could be a viable solution. Not sure why you care if the tires arent supported or not.

 

Think about it this way, If we’re putting it on a vehicle that already has a questionable amount of clearance, shouldn’t we also want the wheels and tires not to be the first thing that hits the ground?

I would rather the hitch haul drag on the ground, than the bike. Which could thus bend pegs, forks or wheels.
