DIY Dirt Bike Carrier for FWD Sedan
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 мар 2017
- This is a dirt bike carrier I designed and built out of steel for my FWD sedan. It tilts for loading and unloading, and features a spring-loaded rotary latch to facilitate raising up to the travel position.
That has to be the most secure carrier🙂Takes a bit of effort but its 2 point of contact 👌
Very thoughtful design. I like it being connected at both ends rather than the typical one hitch tube in the center.
Thanks Luke. That design requires a custom adapter underneath the vehicle, but it does provide a very sturdy connection.
I'll make one for my bike. This is the best design i've seen. Thanks!
Wow, I just welded one for my yaris and somehow youtube showed me your video after I uploaded mine.. Haha
Your channel looks cool! I checked your videos, and could not find one about a bike carrier.
the video is called "$40 diy dirt bike hitch carrier " ill send you a link but usually goes on spam

Exelent design! Thankyou for sharing
very smart design. congratulations
Nice video
Outstanding job on that build, very well made
Thanks, man!
Great build, nicely done, not sure on the music choice though :). Also, you have some serious allegiance to that mercury sable! Impressive
Eres un verdadero genio!. Te admiro muchísimo, saludos desde Guatemala 🇬🇹
Can't stop.crying!!
Nice work
Saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪 eres muy creativo muy bien pensado ese diseño.
Buena idea amigo ,practico y funcional ,complementarias con luces direccionales ,saludos desde ilo _ PERU

me encantoooo!!!! me lo tengo q hacer
Parabéns.
Muito bom seu vídeo uma idéia muito criativa.
Vou tentar fazer.

Awesome! Great build quality! Does having the extra weight on the back affect the way your car handles?
Thanks, man! The car seems to handle fine for normal driving, though I wouldn't suggest hot-rodding with a bike back there :-)
A lot of people suggests that going over tongue weight could bend the car's frame. I suppose you didn't notice any issues like that?
Andrei "tongue weight" doesn't really apply since I did not use a trailer hitch receiver. In the video at the 19 second point you can see the adaptor I designed and fabricated, and the attachment to the frame with a bolt on the right is clear. What is not clear is that further towards the back of the car the adaptor is welded to the bumper bracket on both sides. This is far stronger than any hitch receiver you could buy for this car, probably because the car has very little towing capacity.

@@5tr41ghtGuy Thanks for the details John - much appreciated. I did noticed those good changes, I just wasn't sure about the details ;) - still I wanted to check if you were ever concerned the frame might not hold (I heard some people talk like nagging midwives, but personally I don't think the car engineers were that reckless to make the frame at the limit - I bet they have a hefty safety factor built into them).
Does the BOLT cross all the way through the frame in the trunk? Did you add anything more than a washer, like a wider/thick metal plate to make sure that it sits on a firm surface? I am actually planning a very similar mounting system and I want to build a parallelogram lift (it has two rails like forks in the corners, when undone the forks sit near the ground and the bike is away from the trunk. The parallelogram folds towards the front and as it folds, the forks are closing in, lifting the bike up and tucking it close to the trunk. I want to use a ViaAir compressor and air pistons for the lift - if that compressor is powerful for air suspensions, I bet it can take care of a motorcycle lift).
@@cubul32 the bolt you can see attaching to the frame actually threads into a piece of 1/4" plate which I drilled and tapped, then slipped into frame through one of the existing large holes. It is like a nut only I made it as large as I could and still slip it into the frame.
To avoid overstressing the frame, make sure and attach each side at two separate places which are spread apart as far as practical. The point near the back will be stressed in tension, while the point towards the front will be in compression.
If you were to attach at only one point on each side, then there would be a very large bending moment which would likely bend the stiffeners that we are calling the "frame". Best of luck to you!
@@5tr41ghtGuy Yup! Exactly. I'm thinking of extending some "arms" of square tubing as far back and as far front as I can to reduce the stress and compression; I like how you used the bumper's structural piece - I'm def using that :D . I have to do some physics calculations but I'm building it very solid, spreading over as much area, using thicker plates if needed, welding stuff and whatnot.
Donde lo conseguido ese transporte para motos quieto uno igual al tuyo
Lo diseñé y construí yo mismo.
What with the funeral music? 😂
I composed and recorded that music, so no more takedowns due to copyright violation.
