i understand this will be a bit of a pain in the butt with teh camper on for getting in and out and ill have to take the bike off to get in (but hey it looks like it will double as a good step!) i am running a longbox F350 diesel so weight shouldnt be an issue.
any thoughts? i should be able to whip one up pretty quick i see some where you can tiedown both the front and back to a center mounted bar and some that have a bar at both front and back... im thinking thats what i will make....
just thinking out loud

This is pretty hard to beat for 100 bucks.

They often sell those for $70 or $80, I think I got mine with a coupon for $60. I took the front rail off for easier loading. The Segway is about 120#. I've put a cooler, generator, and misc on it when I had it on the back.

It was rated to 400#s, this bike is just over 2 so I should be fine. Of course when I put the Segway on the front and the KX on the back I'm about as long as a semi

The front carrier was Harbor Freight, the rear from somewhere else but HF sells one for $129 http://www.harborfre...temnumber=99721
And the bike is a hoot!
