I built my own, since the ones like this I found were just not what I wanted. Most are too "universal" and too heavy. I bought square to=ube steel at a local metal selling company, also some channel aluminum and angle-iron, used carriage bolts and Nylock nuts, even added taillights from an auto parts store. Connected those via the 4-pin flat connector. Hired a welder to assemble the steel for $40, and a little paint, it was down the road. Holds my little 80 or my Yamaha XT225, and I can even stand on it WITH the bike on it, and it is sturdy, doesn't even rock. The bike ties to the hitch loops beside the receiver, and to the 2" sq. tube that extends beyond the U-channel jsut under 2 feet. I strap the tires to the channel so it won't jump out, and used some channel to "house" the lights, as protection from any impacts breaking them. Works great, weighs no more than 20 pounds. Cost me about $120-140 in parts and labor, and I bought enough channel for both a full length track AND a full length ramp. Ramp sits loosely on the end of the ramp, with a simple bolt as a "pin", then stores on the rack, just inside and up against the main channel, with two permanently attached bolts, with wing nuts, flat washers and lock washers. Beyond that, more stuff is just getting fancy.

Thanks for that. Iv probably traveled well over 20,000km with my Ducati on the back (mostly for demos) and haven't had a single issue with tight bends at speeds. But its always wise to slow it down a bit when driving (normal speed limit speeds are slow enough). I personally haven't used mine off road(as I don't have a dirt bike) But plenty of people buy them solely for off road use and we get nothing but positive feedback.

Nice video. I have the older model (gray color) which weighs lots more. For my full-size gm truck, it puts my tongue weight to the limit. I normally carry a BMW r1200gs and sometimes a Ducati 1198. Because of my 600lbs tongue weight limit, I opted in getting a heavy-duty 2.5 hitch with a 1k lbs rating. Not cheap but a true piece of mine for me. For my Harleys or other bikes. I use a Kendon dual full-size trailer. I tend to use the mototote WAY more than the trailer. Just more convenient. Remember the rear light kit. In California, police will mess with you if you do not have them.

Thank you for the outstanding video, very informative. Coincidentally, I'll be picking the same model up to tow my 848 EVO Corse. Cheers!

That is a Super Nice Carrier!!! The best I have seen. I am looking to build one for my KTM690

Meus parabéns aqui do Brasil. <--- Portuguese language

This design is so nimble. Love it. I have the older one. The older one is built like a tank with an excellent paint that is the best in the business. I use my carrier to transport my two BMW r1200 gs, Ducati 1198 and RC51. Now I am trying to see if I can transport my Harley RK.

The rims of your truck are very beautiful...❤

That's the most comprehensive demo I've seen for a motorcycle carrier. Thank you! I noticed a bit of tilt as you were unloading the bike. How does it actually perform while on the move, especially while negotiating tight bends at speed? Have you tried that system off-road?

top , se um dia eu puder comprar esses dois modelos de máquinas ao mesmo tempo ...com certeza esse reboque é a melhor opção...mas não sei se meu país aceita essa adaptação....eu acho que no Brasil somente carretinha .

Its a factory Mitsubishi class IV fitted to Mitsubishi Triton (Australian delivered). There is no bumpers on these models, just the rear step, which slots into a piece on the tow bar, which in turn attaches the the chassis(bolt goes threw rear step attachments, then tow bar frame, then onto the chassis. I believe some aftermarket tow bars dont come with the mount provided for rear step.

Cool so where can you get one in the USA?

is there an advised torque setting to do the nut up to? just curious if the bolts are suitable for the life of the rack.

excelent!! thanks a lot

Great video. I'm looking getting one these, however not sure if my vehicle could handle the tongue weight. I have 99 Honda crv and my bike is an sv650. What do you think?

You can buy a 1 1/4 >>> 2'' adaptor. You just need to know the weight capacity will go down slightly. Adaptor is under $40 bucks.

Tnx much!!

Hi Patrick.. thanks alot, this is what i was looking for. ím in UK. where can i find this?

moto tote has not had a single structural failure since it's production in the early 90s. as long as you follow all instructions with assembling, loading,strapping your bike

AH bro that looks scary, what if it breaks , good idea bro, but it scares the shit out of me!
