Towbar Mounted Motorbike Carrier.

<< < (2/3) > >>

I don't think there would be too many problems with the towbar attachment, these ought to be substantial enough for 100Kg of weight.

Your rear springs may be an issue... that much weight on the towbar is likely to put the vehicle quite close to the rear bumpstops, which will make steering a whole new experience if nothing else.

As mentioned, the insurance might be an issue, but then again.. most people don't mention a normal bike carrier on the back.

I've seen a 90 with a motorbike on the back.. and I wouldn't have wanted to drive it, mostly because of the fact it was sitting way down at the back... with some helper springs or air-bags, it might have been a bit better.

I put my Honda CRF450 on a carrier that i've made on the back of my disco.
I find it so much easier than towing, you can keep speed up on motorway etc.

You have to be carfull about maximum nose weight on the tow bar, but mine comes well within the LR Limits.

I know alot of MX's and enduro riders who do this with no probs, I'd never do it with a sportsbike tho. Far to heavy.

i think a crf450 is about the same weight as mine, so might try it. 3 point turns are a lot easier aswell :D

Range Rover Blues:
I think Kev Be is right, if the weight of the bike and carrier exceed the LR stated weight for the tow-bar then it's a no-go.

i need to check the manual..
