Transporting My 1966 Dream - Need Feedback

[pwilke1]

Hey guys - I'm looking for an easy way to transport my dream. I've considered a standard trailer but really like the idea of the fixed hitch carriers. Has anyone had success with these? I believe the dreams dry weight a little over 350lbs making this a possible option. Here's the hitch mount I've been looking at:

Thanks for the input!

Wilke, I have always been a little leery of those hitch mount carriers. A friend lost his on the interstate(with his bike on it) causing mucho damage.I'm sure the newer ones are stronger but I prefer a trailer, truck, or the back of my cargo van...D

I agree.
The dry weight is actually listed at 373 lbs, ...add gas, oil, battery and whatever else is not included in "dry" and you are looking at 400 lbs plus weight of the hitch itself (100 lbs) hanging off the back of your vehicle.

Thanks for the feedback. I believe you guys are absolutely correct. However I wish it was an option though. It would make for a much easier transportation/storage than a traditional trailer.

Look at it this way....if you do get a trailer, you will instantly gain a lot of friends who need something moved, or need to borrow it for bike week or whatever!
