Hey All, I figure I'd ask the ih8tmud brain trust for some ideas / thoughts / suggestions.
I use the MX Hauler to transport my DR650 on the back of my LC200. Below are a photos of it in action.
I live in the city, none of my friends or family own a land cruiser or haul a motorcycle. I figure I ask the brain trust here. Thanks!
I use the MX Hauler to transport my DR650 on the back of my LC200. Below are a photos of it in action.
- MaxTrax recovery boards
- When the MX Hauler is lowered to the ground it sits on two steel mount loops
- I think this is a bad design
- I bought two Parking Curb blocks to lower and raise the MX Hauler on
- Could I replace the Parking curb blocks with MaxTrax recovery boards?
- I'd place the Max trax recovery boards under the MX Hauler when I put DR650 on the hauler and when I lower it to take off.
- I figure the MaxTrax would be durable enough to handle the weight coming down and up
- I try my best to NOT just slam the hauler on the ground
- When the MX Hauler is lowered to the ground it sits on two steel mount loops
- Recovery Jack
- The design of the MX Hauler is not the best with the weight of my bike
- I cannot get the hauler up completely to slide in the locking pin
- I need to use a motorcycle stand to raise it up enough to put in the locking pin
- Do you think I could use a Recovery jack instead to raise the hauler enough?
- A recovery jack would be easier for me to travel with AND be more useful
- Trail hitch tightener
- There three spots that allow rattle on the MX Hauler
- Again, not the best design
- I have yet to find a trail hitch tightener that will fit on the weird LC200 trial hitch
- You hit a bump and the trailer bounces all over the place
- My Black Widow hauler does not move around as much as the MX Hauler
- Any suggestions?
- There three spots that allow rattle on the MX Hauler
- Trail Hitch Pin
- The trail hitch pin I have is pretty short and barely fits
- Most trail hitch pins I've seen wont fit the LC200 because of the weird hitch design
- What do you all use?
- Foot Peg Restraint
- Most tie down straps I have are too long to go from foot peg right to the hauler
- I am trying to avoid putting a strap across the gas tank as this could put pressure on the two screw that hold it on
- Any suggestions or what you all use to do a hold the bike down right from the foot pegs?
- Tie down straps in general
- Any tips, suggestions, products I can get to help out?
