They probably will go but staggered or reversed as handle bars may hit. I would bite the bullet and rent a U haul motor cycle trailer and haul them both back on it, Loading two might prove hard unless you got a good ramp and can back into a slope to decrease the angle up. I specifically bought a used motorcycle trailer to haul my two back and it works just fine, I used it for the Honda 500x pickup since it has 3 rails. Since then I have bought a hitch mount to carry one and just bought a Motolug take apart trailer from England to keep in back of pickup when pulling the toy hauler RV. Its a recovery trailer and the heavy duty model, which I got, will handle up to and include the Harley. They actually make a dual rail one too. The motolug was designed to fix into the trunk of a European car. Four parts, folding rail, two tires and a axle.

Hi, Can you explain or show close-up pictures of this, " at the tie point, the tail of the strap is then lopped through the eyelet then wrapped around hook then tied back onto strap " Also wanted to ask about your experiences with the trailer hitch bike carrier. Are you able to load/unload and strap/unstrap the bike by yourself without help? Thanks for your input.

I'll second being able to solo load my bikes onto my hitch-mounted carrier. I find it best to lay my straps out where I want them on the rack ahead of time. It also helps if you can put the bottom-end of the ramp on a curb (mainly an issue for sport bikes which sit lower then the Trail).

That said, if you can draft a neighbor to help, so much the better!

For those of you that don't want to wrap straps or put hooks on the painted parts these are handy. I use them on most all of my motorcycles.

Hey Sieg, where do you get those hooks?

Hey Sieg, where do you get those hooks?

Amazon.com: JCHL Stainless Steel Tie-Down Anchors Hooks Multi-Purpose Dirt Bike Tie Down Strap Rings for Motorcycle Dirtbike ATV Trailer Truck Rosa-Gold (10-Pack) : Automotive
All the motorcycle parts websites sell them two at a time also.
I think the holes on the CT are countered sunk........so you'll need to put a washer under them and use a little longer bolt.

I picked up the Canyon Dancer ones, same design, different brand.

Thanks Sieg and dmonkey! I've got them ordered.

I use a soft strap wrapped around the Triple clamps or bars (depending on what sort of bike, ATV or load I'm hauling). Have yet to have any damage (marred finish or messed-up paint) or lost bikes or loads.

i bought a bunch of those off amazon, i use them on bikes to tie the tail bags and stuff on, they are handy.

So, I have been on the hunt for months. I am located in Western MT, and the local dealer has close to 30 people in front of me. But I did track one down and made the deposit. It will arrive in July in SD. Not only did I find one that was available, but they had two coming in. So, a friend of mine bought the second one. We will have to truck them 600 miles. I have also never seen a 125 in the flesh. So, my question is can I haul 2 125s in the back of my F-150. I have hauled 2 trail 90s, but I want to do it right and want no chance of hurting our new bikes. Any additional information would be great. Also, a pic of how you have tied down your bikes would be much appreciated. THANK YOU.

Mountain Motor Sports in Kodak Tenn. Just picked up a KTM 390 Adventure last week. Zack ( sales) said they have some still in the crate. I will check if anyone wants,cause they don't make much on them compared to other stuff they sell is probably why they are not out on sales floor. They have UTVs that cost 40 grand and up,and people buy more of that shit than motorcycles,but they probably have a floor plan,and will need to get rid of them. Right next to Gatlinburg Tenn.
