Dirtbike hitch.

Well, I’ve had an itch for a KX dirtbike like I had when I was a kid. Problem how to haul it. Trailer? For under $200 this aluminum hauler?

 

Kind of locks the front wheel down and the straps hold it there.

 

I have one from Harbor Freight that I use to haul my KLX 250 and it works fine.
It’s a little tricky to get the bike on and off by myself (I dropped it once by releasing the straps too much), but after doing it a few times it got easier.
It’s helpful to use a pad of some kind to lean the bike against the hatch while you get the straps sorted.

 

Well, my budget is under a thousand so. I found a 1984 KX 250 in Pa with slight oil leak runs fine.

 

I recently purchased one to haul my 2017 KTM 500. I bought mine on Amazon but recently saw that Harbor Freight has the identical style for about $30 bucks cheaper. I do recommend you not use the shitty bolts that come with it but other than that it’s solid.

 

I want aluminum.

 

Aluminum ones are great, especially if your hauling light motorcycles. Just don't haul over max weight.

I had a few of the harbor freight ones over the years. My buddy still uses one of mine to haul his big and bad ktm enduro every weekend 5 years old and no issues.

 

Well I got approved for a 2022 KX 85! Then there are the taxes? Then there are the freight charges?
Then it’s like $5k
So, I found one local for a little over a grand. Needs brakes. I’m going to tow a trailer.

 

Wow 5 grand for a kx 85. I remember a KX 80 in 1985 was $850 new. I had one. I have also seen the price of the ktm minis were more than that in 2017 when I got my KTM 500. No wonder kids didn’t grow up with motorcycles like I did. The costs are crazy now.

 

Well I get the title in 3 years. I gotta go almost into DC to get it. Here’s the hitch. Harbor Freight, well made, I had a bunch of gift cards.

 

This thing hangs out pretty far?

 

I use the Ultimate MX Hauler. Not the cheapest, but works like a dream. Super easy to load and unload. I've tried those cheaper aluminum ones - didn't like it.

Ya and it doesn’t stick out a foot on either side? I hung two blaze orange vests on it.

 

I've got one from Black Widow, it works great
