chappo Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hi guys, new to pre 65, taking the leap. Just agreed a purchase, but going to pick it up with a Dave Cooper bike rack that I take my Bultaco to events with. They say maximum weight for the rack is 120kilos. Anyone weighed a Cub recently. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki250 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Should be fine, I used DC rack with a BSA B25 MX bike without any problems (on the back of a escort van) I would think a Cub would be around 90kgs, or less for a trick cub Edited June 28, 2018 by suzuki250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleanorbust Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 If your Cub weighs over 120,kg, or anything like it, transporting it is the least of your worries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappo Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Valid point, but I’d rather check than have it come adrift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapezeartist Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Without wishing to psss on your parade, do check the manufacturers recommended trailer nose load. You're going to be hanging bike+rack on there. Probably 100kg, maybe a touch more with fuel and mud. Although many people use DC racks, I suspect most of them are a little bit over the vehicle manufacturers approved weight, unless they drive a Land Rover.
