Motorcycle carrier
I am considering a hydralift motorcycle carrier. Does anyone out there have one now that can give some advice? Thanks

With your 228" wheelbase or 19' and putting 1200 lbs at least 6' behind the rear axle it's a fairly easy lever/math calculation...almost 400 lbs. I never doubted it still handled well but something on the rear was way overloaded. Many single axle DPs do not have enough extra axle/tire capacity to add 1600 more pounds...1200+400.
Anyone thinking of doing this measure your wheel base and how far it will be to the aprox center of the cycle from the rear axle and do the math. That ratio will be how much extra weight over the weight of the lift and cycle you will put on the rear axle. Can your rig handle that much extra weight??? The longer the rig the better the ratio.
