Cargo Carrier

[bikerjohn]

I bought a

Steel Cargo Carrier from nothern tool part Number 148835

 

Modified it by cutting 6 inches from each end.

also got a 11/4 receiver hitch extender and had the end cut off and the tube on the carrier shortend.

Me and the wife are going cross country and i didn't want to tow my open trailer all the to hoover dam and back.

pictures with gear already loaded.

Didn't want our gear getting wet, so we built ours with a box, and lights.

Both look good, how much weight can each of you carry. Been thinking of ways to carry extra cargo and stuff? Can you tell much of a difference in balance while riding?

We usually just carry the little tent and a couple sleeping bags in the box. I think it's way better than having it stacked on top of the trunk, and it stays dry!

I can't tell by the pics, but is the carrier right in line with the exhausts?

I dunno, to me it sure looks like alot hanging off past the axle. I know stacking up on the trunk is'nt real desirable either. I have been trying to search for some top rails for saddle bags. If I could mount them, that would give me somewhere to store the rain gear while traveling and would free up one whole side for clothes. Dont camp so am not worried about a tent etc.

I sure would put some lights on the back of that contraption,,, hate for somebody not to see it down low like that and give you a weee bump.
