Wow. That is quite the set up! How high is that bike? Looks like it could be a challenge to get it up there.

Looks like that would not work for a suv as a tow vehicle. Pushes bicycles forward too much

Actually has many different mounting positions. SUV might be fine.

I've been looking for one of those on somebody's camper so I could check it out. Please let us know how it works.

We have a cap on our truck. Curious to see how it might affect the turning radius. Let us know how this works for you.

I tow with a Yukon. It works fine. A little tuff to get bikes up that high. I carry a three step stool.

Nice setup, I do wonder about that much weight being in front of your rack's axis point. A long ride and a few good bounces and you might have an issue.

Tom
What is the brand name of the holder and rack? Seems to be different of the first one. The first one in this thread seems to jut forward and then adding a rack the goes forward more. A side view would be great.

thank you for sharing

These are the only photos I have. The unit on my trailer came from Support Rack. I bought it online. The bike rack that goes with it is a Thue 9042. Made for two bikes. I also use it on my Yukon
