Motorcycle on 5ver.
Anybody tried carrying an 800 lb motorcycle on the back of their 5ver? How did it work? I am wanting to build a hydraulic lift for mine

I've got my lift plans pretty much finalized. I did a little calculating and came up with some weights.
Factory dry weight of trailer is..................................................12725
Dry axle weight is......................................................................10505
weight motorcycle and carrier add to trailer axles .....................1830
Dry axle weight with bike loaded/trailer empty..........................12335
Factory dry pin weight.................................................................2220
Dry pin weight with bike and carrier installed/trailer empty.........1440
This week I will get some accurate axle weights with most cargo in the trailer. I know that moving the axles back 16" would offset the weight of the bike hanging off the back very nicely but I'm not crazy about moving the axles back. I plan on pricing that option out and making a final decision as to what to do this week. Anyone able and willing to photoshop my axles moved back 16" on this photo?
