Thanks for the advice. This is what i am going to do.
I bought some cold roll flat stock for the top piece (not sure if ill go straight down or simply go at an angle all the way to the hitch since i have to have room for crossmembers to keep it still left to right), and some 1 inch by 2 inch...
What type of tubing are you referring to. I ask because you mention less weight, wouldn't tubing have more material thus more weight.
with square steel tubing i am curious about the best way to attach it. using flat stock i can put a bolt right though, but if i put a bolt through a 1inch...
Well. first, pulling the bike isent something i plan on doing on a regular basis. at the least not one this heavy. I would be doing this once more for the fun of it than anything. It is simply too much weight.
For a bigger bike than a vfr pulling another bike isent a big deal, however...
I agree with you there. the most weight that you should pull with a vfr is going to be around 300lbs.
the average that I am pulling is around 50lbs.
I am surprised at how well this did work going down the highway even.
my issue still stands however. I need to make this hitch stronger...
I am in the process of designing a hitch for my motorcycle.
Realistically it is strong enough unless i pull more weight than i really should. That said I still should make it stronger in case of the foreseen, like when i got rear ended.
Before i get to the pictures, what I have now is...
