There was a thread a couple weeks ago asking about door clearance to a motorcycle carrier.
I decided to get an Ultimate MC ramp hauler, and received it today.
I didn't take pictures during assembly, it took less than an hour, even with my dog "helping"
this is the ready to load position, it's easy to roll the bike on to (but it is a 21" front wheel).
with the bike on the ground there is plenty of room to open the door and climb in
with it lifted you could squeeze in if you needed to
With the DR350 my truck only sagged about another 1", it started getting dark and wet so I didn't try my BMW F800GS yet. I think I'll probably do something to make it more stable, it's not bad for something that's only in a 2" receiver (bolted in) with that much leverage. I will probably add some auxiliary lighting to it also.
Now I need to try doing something for a ramp to get my dogs in, the Lab still can't figure out the steps.
