lotus54 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 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.

lineaway Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 There are many mounts out there. This one has to be a one off custom with all the details it has! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_t Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobblenorbed Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks for the ideas. cooper won't ship to the states or klipinhoff. Looks like I'll just need to build my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_t Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 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 .

old trials fanatic Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Who needs a rack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 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.

lotus54 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) 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, 2013 by lotus54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
