Best dirtbike carrier?
« on: May 13, 2007, 03:10:01 PM »
I don't have a pick-up, so if I wanna take the Hodaka out, I'm looking at those hitch-mounted carriers, since my SUV has a trailer hitch.

Which are better, the kind that have a channel the wheels set in, like this one?

Or this one, which uses the frame and footpegs to tie it down, leaving the suspension unloaded:

Cost is fairly close, so that's not a big issue, but wondering which is better.  With the former, it would be like I tied it down in the truck, so I would have to use a "spacer" I've already cut from a 2x4, so the forks don't over-compress and blow the seals, so I'm inclined to the "Ultimate MX Hauler", because it should be easier.
