Front hitch/dirtbike carrier
Those that have a front hitch setup...which one? Also, looking for a dirtbike carrier for a somewhat heavier DRZ400SM (supermoto) bike, about 320 pounds wet. Anyone run something like that?

I too thought about this as well, and moved the original bike (KTM 500 EXC) I had planned on riding in this location, to my trailer. As it was too tall. Installing this Honda which sits more than 8 inches lower. I still plan on lowering the hitch another 6-8” once I get to a location of a welder. Not many out in the areas I traverse.
Not sure about obstruction of driver view.
But, what I did is I actually drew lines in the dirt in front of my truck and sat behind the wheel of my F550 4X4. What I learned was that my view is obstructed up to 12 feet in front of my front headlights. Basically less than a car length. Acceptable, in most thoughts. When you consider the different types of individuals that operate motor vehicles and whether they use booster seats to see over the steering wheel or the nose of a semi-truck. All real world scenarios and ones that have consequences, like a booster then takes your feet from reaching the pedals (brake) effectively. So what is Law Enforcement and the Judicial System to do and how would an officer articulate this, as well a defense be presented?
Again, an interesting thread and worthy of you beginning a new one and worth mentioning on this thread for others considering doing just this with the front bumper of their trucks. Whether a motorcycle, generator or ice coolers.
