Default ATV Hitch - Wutcha Think??

I've seen these before.. Work perfect for dirtbikes but I don't feel too good bout the atv hitch.
Just seems like too much weight on that rear end.. How stable would the truck itself be?
Hauling down the freeway thru dips... I'm thinking it would make steering a little funny?

Dude I had a the same brand for my buell it worked really good. I don't see why it would not work for a quad. You do have to look out for light poll's. Now thats a funny story lol

Well dude, your not suppose to have anything more than 500lbs tongue weight with then trailer unless you have a LBH. With the bike only weighing around 400lbs, you should be good. I would think????

Atleast from a mechanics perspective, anyone ever try this, looks cool for short trips

My buell weighted almost 500 It worked very well. But you do have to watch out. I took out a lamp poll with mine. Luckly my bike was not on it.

But did it affect the steering or feel of the truck? And would you consider putting Two bikes on that thing like it is advertised to be able to do?


I like the idea, cause like on my truck, I have the shell, and it works perfectly for us to sleep in, but the trailer is a pain to deal with when it comes to storage during the off season. But I guess it is just like the boat, win some and loose some

two dirt bikes. HELL YEA. It did not really mess with handling much I could not even tell my street bike was back there. It does shack left to right but if you tighten the anti sway thing its not that bad. We use to carry my buddys yz250 on it and we would have to strap the hell out of it because it was two light for the dam thing. I don't know if that helps but I tried.
