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

No way would I hang 800# plus the weight of the lift on the back of a 5er even with a reinforced frame. Think of a seesaw....what happens when you put a really heavy person on the other end of a seesaw. The other end goes up. You will cause the pin weight to go lighter and this can cause serious handling/ride issues.

Yep that's the concern. Once I get actual weights I'll know how fat the guy is on the hitch side of the seesaw. Then I'll have a better idea as to whether or not the 1000 pounder riding on the back bumper is problem.
You just need to have the boss pack more “stuff” into the front bedroom area of the fiver! My wife is really good at that already. :B
