Motor Bike Carrier

[floridaboy]

I just built my first bike and looked around for a carrier for it. At first i was puting it in the back of my truck with a cap on it. It was hard for me with a bad knee. After no luck finding what i wanted i decided to design and build my own carrier. Here is some pictures of the carrier. I used my son's bike for the pictures. Tell me what you think of the carrier.

Very nice. I'm thinking of building one myself. However, I don't have a hitch on my auto. I've got a rack mounted R/S on a women's frame. With the rack mount, it's top heavy, and I'd be worried about side support when stopping or starting. I like your design, would have to figure out how to mount easily to hatchback. I'd like some ideas if others have done it.

Beautiful

That is a great carrier. Looks like the ones for the Harleys. Now how do I do one for my trike?

It isn't cheap but why build one? There are a couple other companies that seel ones that are a bit cheaper. But nice job on the build though.
