Thanks for the input. I'm looking at a Rage carrier that looks like it ties down to the reciever rather that offset to either side, I thought at first that wouldn't be efficient, but compressing BOTH front and rear now makes sense.

I carry my street bike on it is so sturdy! |

Although, I have to say my nephew's $60 aluminum jobber from Cycle Gear is much lighter and meets the minimum for dirt bikes. |
I have a mototote also.

Sounds like the mototote wins! Hehe

Also, any feedback on the harbor freight hauler ? That one is 80 bucks after coupon... |

Edit- I just looked at the HF model, and it's pretty similar to what my nephew has. I wouldn't carry a large or heavy motorcycle with it if you are traveling over a bumpy road, but it would work for our bikes on improved roads. |
i used the one that doesnt use the tires, but rather you put the skid plate on the platform and then jack it up in the air..
really secure, kinda heavy, kinda expensive but really worked great. you could get a gas can holder too. i forget the name |

I've hammered my Harbor Freight bike hauler, on some pretty bad mountain roads, with my bike on it. Before I used it, I welded all the fasteners, so nuts wouldn't vibrate loose/off. The nuts are Nylocks, but I welded them anyway. The ultimate test, was hauling my DR 650. I would discourage that much weight, but mine survived fine...for what it's worth.
**I use a safety leash around the swing arm, attached to chain catch on the hitch...I once saw a bike come loose and nearly tear away the straps from the bars** |
