Hitch Question for Hauling

[PATR1NYC]

on my 97 Tahoe, it came with-when I bought it, i believe to be a class 2 hitch and was wondering if I can haul this with a track bike weighing about 450lbs on it with no issues...

You're fine. Just make sure your hitch mount has the proper drop for the trailer. Also make sure you use the proper sized ball.

i mean the carier is good for 500#.. and your bike is in the 400-430# area.. so in theory it should hold it.. not this is the same as about 450# tong weight and depending on how stiff or worn your rear suspension is will determine how much your rear will squat with the bike on there..

i have a buddy that hauls R1 his with a Sazuki Samari just fine...

If that bike weighs less than 500 pounds and its the ONLY bike you are gonna put on the hauler, then you should be fine.

You mean like the one I built to haul my old race bike?
I designed it so you could ride it right up, all self contained.
