Setting Up Ute For Motorcycle Transport

[I JET]

Thanks everyone...I did give it a test run out to wakefield park and back with two bikes before it was painted. It was solid as. The only thing I changed was the addition of two more lugs on the top rack to prevent it rotating up under hard acceleration.

Nice work, have you considered maybe changing the wire that holds the rear gate with something solid when carrying the bikes. I use to carry my bikes round on the ute when I had them and although the wire that holds the gate shouldn't have an issue I just wonder if something more solid would be worthwhile.

I did consider that but it's not necessary. The working load limit of the tail gate is 500kg. Each bike weighs less than 200kg, than also consider that at most, only half of the mass of each bike is applied to the tail gate...it is more than strong enough.
