bike racks

Hi there,

I was browsing the Kamar site looking for something on hand winches and noticed an entry about bike racks. Not sure if this configuration would suit you - but maybe worth a look. http://www.kaymar.com.au/mitschal_pbike.html

We carry two bikes on a rack that was designed to fit into the square tow hitch receiver. So we have mounted a hitch receiver between the gas bottles and the bikes hang in there just behind the stone guard. We do, however, have a 300mm extention on the draw bar. There still seems to be a lot of room though so maybe it would work with the standard length bar.

Cheers

Hope you find a fix soon

Hi Prue,
I had a 3 place "bike beak" which normally gets bolted thru the hole in a towbar tongue in place of the towball. Used it for 20 years of cycle touring in a "previous life".

Our BT came with an extended A frame carrying 2 jerry can holders. We preferred the bikes to jerry cans so cut off the jerry can holders, welded a 12 mm thick steel bar across the tranverse members put there for the jerry cans and mounted the "bike beak" infront of the gas bottles and behind the stone screen.
Works a treat with out 2 bikes.

If you would like pics the send me an email and I will dig out the didital camera.
