Intesting!!! I put a hitch like this on every car I ever owned. Used it to pull kayaks, jetski and haul firewood. Definitely check your unibody. The bend in your hitch did not come from the hitch itself most likely at where it attaches to your frame. I used those stabilizers at first. I have my own dilemma. I have have a Prius I don’t trust so I wanted to see if anyone put a rack for enduro or motorcycle on a car. Great Job!! 🎉
The tongue weight on that car is maxed out at about 100-150 lbs. You have about 2-3 times the allowable weight... That is why it has bent and doesn't look safe.
I just got this set up on my Tesla model 3. I cut the rack shorter so there’s less leverage working against the receiver. I also run ratchet straps across the top of my trunk to the rack for extra support. I’m still paranoid of the thing snapping. lol But it is reassuring to see other people are having success with it too.
Bro! I think the bend is in the adapter piece right when it come out of the car receiver. Just pull the adapter out of the receiver to see the bend. Just what it looks like to me. Just don't want you to buy the wrong piece.
Wow! I know I'm good now. I have a 2005 Outback which has a tongue weight max of 400lb. And my carrier and bike is 300lb AND my Outback has a 2" receiver 😅 hell yeah brother 😎 we out here
I tow a 4x6 trailer with my bikes and 4 wheeler with my 09 honda civic 4 door everywhere to different Atv park and get some many looks on the highway but you have a good setup also 💪🏾
That 1in to 2in adapter adds weight. Also this motor cycle carrier adds 30 to 40 lbs and plus weight of bike. So thats alot of down load force on the hitch and its rated for a class 2 only.setup. so what is your thoughts of the total weight plus suppose to be class two ?
@@caseylane6030those ratings, like every other rating in the engineering world, is extremely lower than the actual number where things might go bad just to deter people from reaching that actual number, its all about companies being safe from potential lawsuits.
I went to Uhaul to get a hitch put on my 2019 Kia Forte and the guys there were very honest and told me it would be a bad idea to get a hitch put on and get the dirt bike rack from harbor freight like i intended on doing because they said it would scrape the ground alot and potentially ruin my car. So i didn’t do it. i have a little 125 SSR i wanted to tow around so idk seeing this it seems like it would work perfectly fine with minor issues!
Yo man I been watching you for a while now and ever since I saw your DRZ 400 supermoto I fell in love today I got a early birthday present. Such a nice bike!!!
If bikes falls off, you are liable for any damage or death that it occurs because of that, I am pretty sure that is the same all over the US. You are extremely lucky, so far...
How is the setup on the surron? I'm planning to do the exact same thing with my honda civic. My hitch+car setup can handle 200lbs tongue weight Do you think a surron could work If I take out the battery? Thanks!!
@@grilledche3ze434 yeah, but I am able to fold it when not using it and stack it up against the wall in garage. For dirt bike transport, it's great. I can also use it for dirt, mulch, etc around the house.
lol I bro i saw this and towed my drz all around on the back of my wifes VW Tiguan for years. It was a little sketch hauling that pig but it worked out.
Ay bro I’m getting a bike that weighs 265lbs and I have a 2017 Honda Accord and the issue I’m seeing with these accord trailer hitch the tongue say 200lbs. I’m scared it want hold up. How long do you ride with your heavy bikes ?
The reason it's a 1.25 in. Is because that hitch is only rated for 200 lb tongue weight with 2000 lb tow capacity. You are over tongue weight. I wouldn't chance it with a 10,000 bike.
Yeah. That is sketch AF. Glad it's worked out for you bro. When you get a new carrier swap out the adapter for a new one as well. Who knows what kind of stresses it's gone through over the past 5 years?
Holy crap that looks unsafe. You want it as vlose to the car as possible to reduce the leverage. Make sure your hitch is rated with the necessary tounge weight. increase the distance between anker points for the straps to make it more stable
cant. i scrape on every driveway and speed bump with my 1 1/4th. 2" is designed for vehicles with higher ground clearance, and the beams that are welded to the frame, need to be 2" too. and if he cut off the receiver and welded a 2" receiver, that creates a fracture point over time, and the welds will fail. now you get to pick up your bike shattered into a million pieces on the highway
idk how much it is if you already have the parts, but i know uhaul will install it with parts included for $400. can try asking around mechanic shops to see if they can do it for cheaper
bruh youtube demonetize ur shet? i'd imagine they do with stunt riding. a youtuber with 1M subs should be able to get a beater truck quite easily. plus you get to haul heavy things heavier than 1000 pounds
I’m impressed it hasn’t snapped off yet with that load

Yeah but he been driving on it for 5 years so it’s pretty safe lol
Yeah its safe... until its not
@@slickslimyfilm
Tongue weight on a 2017 wrx is over 500lbs idk the year his is but he’s fine
@@Aggressiveopinions that means it can tow over 5000 lbs... Unlikely for a car.
@@son1gohan my Hyundai Kona can tow 5k and it has a 1.6 i4
You should wrap straps around the carrier in front and back into your trunk to help take some of the weight off the carrier
I like the idea of towing your bike with your car instead of having to ask or borrow a truck
Sometimes you don’t know anyone with a truck
Old sub from the pit bike days yessir happy to still see you popping on my feed and active much love bro

Make sure you’re only hauling Vargs, no good machine should have to fall victim to the big fire when it happens 😆
I'd get trailer lights and stick them to back of bike rack with strong magnet and a hook so they can't fall off but be removable easily.
You are the new zack goes until he gets back zack goes a living legend
Thank you moto bro!! I'm about to get one for my 2019 accord and can't wait
Got one for my 2018 accord sport, I carry a grom puts a little weight to the car but I like using it

This is the way if going passenger car.
Might want to check your unibody where that hitch is attached...the carrier looks aligned with the hitch but the hitch is hanging low as hell
I bet the cabbage is bent & the strut towers are caving 😂

I believe that’s a class 1. Typically rated for no more than 200lbs tongue weight. This dude is living on the fringe.
been rocking it for 5 years, never broke, deff aint the best but it works

Whoa dude, that's straight up sketchy. You gotta beef up that adapter. You've been lucky so far bro.
Try putting some playing cards down the side of the square tube to get rid of some of the wobble
I'm just glad you still have the subie

Is that a full size dirt bike? Yz250f ?
Boughy something similar recently, definitely a good bit of kit
Yo Moto bro you should get some pov driving videos and take the car to the drag strip. I think the a bit of car content would get a lot of views
Love the vids tho
Nissan Altima setup what should I do? Upgrades? It’s a 4 cylinder. Any upgrades
Harbor freight trailer.
lowes trailer better quality. the black metal mesh ones. harbor freight works but bad quality and you gotta put it together piece by piece i believe
@@grilledche3ze434 yeah, but I am able to fold it when not using it and stack it up against the wall in garage. For dirt bike transport, it's great. I can also use it for dirt, mulch, etc around the house.
Nice sticks out kinda far but I have this same setup on my 2010 ford crown Vic just not sticking out that far lol I carry my 2013 DR 650
I carry my crf110 on my Tahoe like this. I’m gonna try my Harley next
lol
Did it work? 😂
I called U-Haul and they said they only make a hitch kit for a Honda accord that can only carry 200 pounds but my bike weighs 228 how does that work
The “max tongue weight is merely a suggestion” mentality.
did you figure it out??
lol I bro i saw this and towed my drz all around on the back of my wifes VW Tiguan for years. It was a little sketch hauling that pig but it worked out.
Was thinking abt if u were gon drop today while I was at the yamaha dealership 😂
looks like the hitch adapter is bending where its rusty lmao
In most normal countries, the police would ping you in 10 minutes 😅
Have this set up on my mustang 💪🏻

You will be fine. That’s just America trying to scare you with numbers

@@slickslimyfilm oh you got a street legal one?
have you been pulled over for blocking the plate yet?
The reason it's a 1.25 in. Is because that hitch is only rated for 200 lb tongue weight with 2000 lb tow capacity. You are over tongue weight. I wouldn't chance it with a 10,000 bike.

@@kushpaladin300also you need the extra height from the adapter anyways or you are scrapping 24/7
Why put an STI wing on a WRX it’s like putting a SI badge on a regular Honda civic EX
A wing is a performance part, a badge is not. That’s not a very good comparison.
Make sure to always research your tongue weight on your vehicle
You can get a 2" reciver and not screw with the adaptor. just put one on my 2011 WRX.
Where’d you find a 2in? Also it doesn’t sit too low to the ground?
Yea I might try this on my mustang lol
Did you end up doing it ? Interested as well lol
@@sergiodominguez1627 I could never find a class 2 hitch that would fit, so I made a trailer that I been using
His back
nice bro
Woah wtf youre from orlando too
how did you get the hitch reciever on? did uhaul do it? how much was the install
idk how much it is if you already have the parts, but i know uhaul will install it with parts included for $400. can try asking around mechanic shops to see if they can do it for cheaper
yessir uhaul did it, was like $300 with install i think
bruh youtube demonetize ur shet? i'd imagine they do with stunt riding. a youtuber with 1M subs should be able to get a beater truck quite easily. plus you get to haul heavy things heavier than 1000 pounds
I feel sad for that subie
Bro I can build you a killer hitch that will work. Hit me up
hope you have great insurance with that set up.
Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
holy crap, no
Looks dodgy.
Loading your bike in the bed sucks by yourself. This setup is a lot easier.
