PAKIT RAK
Does anyone have any pictures of it installed on their hitch. I am thinking about getting one. I am planning on getting a BRP hitch for my Rt. Can't afford a trailer right now so was wanting to get the pakitrak for extra stuff.
Thanks, Lois

I am thinking about the harbor freight trailer myself cant afford all of the BRP stuff. This looks to be the same price as the pakitrak that I googled.

Lois, like you money is an issue for many.... All the RT after-market Hitches that I have seen " THAT ARE BOLT THRU AXEL DESIGN " will work just as well as the BRP one. And Value Accessories ( site vendor ) has the wiring harnesses to finish the set-up.......and I agree with " alOvely " and the Idea of the Harbor Freight trailer frame and wheels set-up........You can find a Sears Cargo-X box roof-top carrier at a garage sale for CHEAP .... This set-up will only weigh about 150 lbs ( vs BRP @ 240+ ) ....... The rear carrier you are thinking about RESTRICTS you to 40 lbs ......TOTAL WEIGHT .... that includes the weight of the CARRIER ....... So imho 30 lbs of stuff isn't much......... Good luck.......Mike

Have to agree...
I have seen many Tag-Along trailers and DIY with the roof. Many color matched to the spyder and at that price you have to wonder. Never really liked the trailer hitch carriers. Your limited as to what you can carry due to the motion, heat and road grime. But for the short runs I guess it is fine. JMO....

Nice price.

I searched the website http://www.packitrak.com and couldn't find this product or much of anything else. Looks like they are not very busy.

Ok I have decided to get the harbor freight trailer. Can I buy the show chrome harness and be able to wire the trailer up to the RT using it.

One suggestion for the Harbor freight trailer
I suggest that you use nylon-lock nuts or double nut for the tail-lights. Or else they will come off and that is trouble.

What cargo carrier is that with the Givi?

Keep in mind that what ever you put it there will get the crap beat out of it. every bump the rear tire sees goes directly into the hitch and is amplified by the length of the hitch. I pull a Bushtec and have had to replace broken bolts in the tounge and the bottles in the cooler break.

Use packing bags they make it easy to pack. I pack in a small bag socks and underwear in a medium shirts and sweaters then in the large pants so if it's gets bounce around no big deal the main thing it's waterproof lockable and just pick up and carry into the room

I'd opt for a trailer than use a rack on the hitch.
This is the only application I've ever seen where the hitch is attached to the axle, which makes it completely unsprung. That thing is going to transmit every minor bump to your cargo with absolutely no suspension action to mitigate it. The opposite is true, the geometry is going to magnify it, and the addition of unsprung weight could do funny things to handling.
To each their own though, but I'd caution against putting much weight on it.
