November 18, 201312 yr Has anyone seen where this carrier is available? I don't know for certain if it would work on my SAAB (factory V.5 rated hitch), but it seems it or something like it may work. (To haul my OSSA Explorer)
November 18, 201312 yr There are many mounts out there. This one has to be a one off custom with all the details it has!
November 19, 201312 yr I use the type that just hooks to the foot pegs... got a knock off on ebay cheap but here is the real deal... http://www.ultimatemxhauler.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=9
November 19, 201312 yr Dave cooper is very good at making trials specific rear racks and trailers. Had one for three years now and when I change car I just change it over. £68 inc postage, cant go wrong. Google him.
November 19, 201312 yr Author Thanks for the ideas. cooper won't ship to the states or klipinhoff. Looks like I'll just need to build my own.
November 20, 201312 yr I should note that if I am hitting the highway I usually tie the rear fender to the back tire... as the zip ties I use to hold the fender on the bike are not great against 150 km/h cross wind .
November 20, 201312 yr One local loony transports his bike and sidecar on the roof of his car. Wish I had taken a photo. I thought I was seeing things.
November 20, 201312 yr have you tried going to the website www.discountramps.com ?? I'm just over in Victoria and they shipped right to my door, very reasonable. I have a double bike rack, but the singles are very nice too. A few people around here have them. Steve
November 23, 201312 yr Author Thanks Steve, I didn't see any class II hitch carriers there... Guess I'll make my own, or keep using the trailer... For shorter runs I just ride the bike, but wouldn't be very fun for a 150 mile road ride! Heading up in the hills shortly. COLD!!! (Well, for whimpy guys that grew up around here, where below 40f is cold) Edited November 23, 201312 yr by lotus54
