Looks great but I agree, need to do something about the brake lights. How about a small rig like you'd put on a home made trailer for lights?

*Tod* · 03-07-2007

Looks like it's nearly 20 per day by my clock.

It means "dude, go read a book or something! You'll rot your brain!"

But I do... I have read a whole book in the last week.

*Tod* · 03-07-2007

You asked what your post count was, and I commented that it looked like you posted about 20 times per day since you signed up.

BTW, did anyone make a 6K congrats thread for you?

I haven't seen one, I've been too busy to look really hard though.

MAN, I'm so tired I'm getting a headache. Fortunately I have one more day. I can't wait.

i've needed help for a long time, no point in seeing a professional now

RichLockyer · 03-10-2007

Ehh... screw all that legal stuff, but the only thing that bothers me is the total length.
That's a LOT of torque on those receivers... even a class-IV rated to 1k is rated for that pressing DOWN on the ball, not cantilevered out 4 or 5ft.
You've got less than 600 pounds there including the rack, but that's going to translate to a lot more than 600 when twisting on the receivers.

Personally, I would have built it a couple of feet shorter and loaded the bikes from opposite sides... but dual-bike carriers always make me nervous.

ervins · 03-10-2007

That is cool...I like that a lot. I was looking at getting one for my truck to haul my bike. Very nicely done!

i'm with you on the nervous part, i have never been a huge fan of them. that's just a lot of pressure on a chunk of 2" square stock.

I've got a super set up, but it's for one bike called the 'joey lift'. I've set it up as a 3 point reciever set up, it's so strong, that you can haul a trailer behind the hauled bike. ISPEED has seen it.

*ispeed77* · 03-11-2007

^^^ yes, that set up would not make me nervous. very strong, like and extension of the truck's frame.
