    I got one for a ktm 450 and it's not big enough . But can get it on adjusting it past the end of the bar a inch with the safety nut out . And it does hang out then worryingly in to oncoming traffic

      Yeah that sounds scary, I would hang a very bright orange or pink rag or flag from that end, just to make sure all the lazy idiots can see it a mile away.
      Be careful on corners as someone coming around could be going wide to avoid something like a.... cyclist, drain, parked car... and might get very close to your extension.
      All I would be able to do after seeing a mangled dirt bike is CRY.
      But yes, try and make that side as visible as possible to people, like having a LADDER sticking out of a work van, dangle a very bright rag off of it.

      We had it like that so we could still access the boot, we have loads of stuff for travelling when the bike is loaded, just easier to get in and out.

    Would have been nice to see how you got the bike into the rack.

    • @oraclescave
      @oraclescave  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just lift the handlebars until front wheel is in place, then you barely need to hold it, just go around to the back and either lift by the sub frame under the rear mudguard, or just fingers through the spokes and lift the rear wheel, very easy.
      And you will notice there is zero straps holding the bike in place, it just sits there by itself very sturdy, of course you need to strap it down to move, but it will just sit in place un-aided while loading by yourself.

      @@GiacintoMarcellino yes it is a very useful addon for a car.
      Better than always borrowing a van or annoying people with vans to come and get me.
      Maybe you could get a conversion plate, to mount to your towbar like an adapter to fit a 2 bolt hitch style.
      But yes this carrier rack is better than useful and has made my life much easier.

      By plugging in a trailer board into the towbar electrics plug.

    • @oraclescave
      @oraclescave  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      All bikes below 110cc are very light bikes. My bike was a 160cc and had nearly every addon you could put on it.
      Weight is no problem for the design of the rack, but some cars will be limited at the towing weight, tongue weight I think its called. 75kg -80kg in my car.
      But its a very handy contraption, I also fix a lot of bikes so collecting them is very easy just using the car, and much easier finding parking spaces.
