So i broke down some time ago at a friends place . I got my bike home and got to thinking . I only want to wait for my jeep to pick me up because it's cheaper over all
I have a1198 jeep grand Cherokee with a 750 lbs tounge weight frame and a 500lbs hitch and it's all done with new airbags in the rear and new shocks

How close is it to the back of the jeep?

Punch the gas and do a wheelie in the jeep! :D
 
You have to just feel like a boss running through town with that thing strapped on the back.
 
Now you all know that when hes going down the road with the thing on the back every little kid that sees that BADASS bike is going to want one.:p
 
Dumb question but how the hell does that come down? I am assuming it leans to one side?

on mine there is a ramp that attaches to the back. mine is a slightly different design than the one pictured here though.

that is so true, i swear ive been the cause of broken necks on the highway as their dad drives past me.
 
i will post up some more picks soon . i have a friends 1125 i have to pick up
 
I love the blue wheels got to paint my Uly wheels like that to match the blue of the bike.

What did that rig cost you?

i will put up all of the particulars after the weekend with all the specs and more pics
 
I am In the Grey Shirt my Real name is Waylon, i work on the parts counter at Barnes Harley-Davidson Buell 6.5 years in the bike industry 4 of those at Harley

So here is the breakdown to carry a bike that is approximately 400lbs
My 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a Vehicle tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs
The hitch is a class III 500 lbs Tongue capacity
the ramp has a 450 lbs capacity as long as the the previous weights are what i posted . so if your vehicle has a 500lbs tongue capacity then it lowers your hitch capacity to 350 lbs and you are unable to do this .
Hitch is $600.00 plus tax CANADIAN (you can prolly get it cheaper in the US)
I paid $450 Canadian ( i have contacts :) )
Hitch class III 500lbs $230.00
