TMAX · 09-26-2014, 02:04 PM

Anyone know where i can get one today or what shops would carry one?

Anyone have one for sale?

I have already craiglisted.

I have one I can loan you Neil. Will be in garage tonight helping a friend with a brake job on his ride... I'd sell it to ya, but I have high hopes of purchasing another dirtbike in the near future for bi annual forest rides up at SHNF.

As long as they dont hook to the car's wheels, it should be good to go.

on second thought......

KLR, <400#.....

Dont trust these ! That KLR weighs in at 518 dry, 825 with the usual rider, and then there is the whole milk crate .....SO close to 1K in weight.

my friend installed a trailer hitch on his mazda 3.

he bought a carrier hitch just like you guys are talking about.

he's also going to load his gsxr 600 on to that hitch/carrier.

What are your opinions so I can show him this thread?

It s GXSR, who cares if it falls off.

I think he should go to the bigger class....400# is pushing it with a sport bike.

Honestly, I'm a little shocked that someone makes a 2" receiver hitch for a Mazda 3 (or that someone makes a moto-tote that will fit a 1 1/4" receiver)...

r6racer · 09-26-2014, 09:39 PM

he's pretty good with metal since he is a welder, so im sure he knows the limits better than i would.. i told him i was more concerned of the cars rear suspension being completely bottomed out and the car doing a wheelie.

but a mazda3 with a gsxr doing a wheelie will make for a AMAZING video i think no?

tankmonkey · 09-26-2014, 09:46 PM

probably end up like this:

could go with something like this though...

or this...

Neil...was in the garage all night...never saw you. I cancelled my previous engagements for you.

I stock the Cycle Country Motorcycle Wedge-Lok Carrier. It's only rated for 400 lbs. Works fine for dirt bikes, I wouldn't trust a street bike on it. It retails for $240.99. $180 for Motohouston(25% discount).
