Let's take a look at a hitch mounted motorcycle carrier, specifically the heavy duty Rack N Ride carrier made in Australia. I also discuss the biggest concern I hear from riders, specifically that ADV bikes with a carrier exceed the tongue weight listed in almost all examples.

I answer the questions that I seldom hear addressed such as the possible need from overload or leveling springs and hitch load.
