    Default overbuilt bike lift

    I have an overbuilt motorcycle lift/carrier located in Maine. I am no longer using.
    If you can use it, you are welcome to it. you would have to pick up. too heavy to ship
    unless you want to arrange for the crating/shipping.

    I love Maine this time of year, If the deal with Repoer doesn't pan out. Give me a call I'll come and pick:-up. my Dad lives in Ct and I could combine the two.

    Hi Repoer. There is several threads regarding these Motorcycle carriers installed on Prevosts. Generally , The Engine is attached to the transmission/Drive. So the Weight that is added is added to your Engine. Although Tonge weight on a trailer hitch is 10,000lbs, that is not verticle lbs. Its towing weight.
    So what can happen is weight stress on the engine cradle which is not rated for the added weight. This in turn can also cause the back of the Coach Shell to seperate at the seams at the top and sides.
