I'd go with BK on that one........way to much weight, and way to far back.
if you gotta to that, IMHO, you'd be way better off with a dolly or trailer
for the bike.
Not tellin ya what to do, though. Just my opinion.
good luck

IMHO, bad idea, too much weight on the rear suspension/tires, and handling
would be weird, at least...

I was thinking of putting a class 3 hitch on my 240 d do that I could
put my motorcycle rack(sorta like those extra carrying cages for SUVs) so
that I can carry my 400 lb Buell on it! Any thoughts about hitches, springs
etc?Sean

Nate, we keep thinking about putting a hitch on our 300D tow a small
rv trailer or a small flat deck trailer for getting supplies.
