[QUOTE="HomeMadeSin, post: 627600, member: 26415"] I'm not that fond of my hitch carrier either (spectrum industries), but I refuse to register and store a trailer. The DMV thing is just another reason to find a way to make the carrier work. I just toted my ride this weekend on the back end of my Suburban, and didn't notice a thing. I just hate seeing the bike rock back and forth so much. I think the rear spare will clear the motorcycle when mounted on the Jeep. According to the manual, towing over 2,000 lbs with a Type 1 receiver is the max. They also say not to exceed 15% of trailer weight = 300lbs. Of course, they don't mention a Class 2 or 3 hitch and the 300# is pretty damn close to what the set-up would weigh (226 dry weight, add about 25 pounds for 2.6 gals of fuel and tranny oil, and ?? for aluminum carrier). I haven't weighed the carrier yet, but I can't imagine too much over 50#. With heavy duty gas shocks and stock ride height, I think it'll work. I'll do some more searching. If it doesn't work, I guess the wife will have to give up the Suburban each time I ride. KenR, where are the pics? [/QUOTE]
