No Hitch Required

I finally got caught up with other pressing things and started to fabricate the prototype for the NH-Carrier. Here is a sneak peek at the prototype.

Looks good, but isn't that 2x4 gonna wear pretty quick?:roflblack:

 

[Chupaca]

Nice...!!

Shapping up nicely. Should be a hit. You could add a brake light sending unit and a battery operated led light for more lighting and protection...:thumbup: Have one on my helmet with turnsignal and night strobe.

:clap: I'm liking what I'm seeing! :2thumbs:
Thanks for the update.

Like the concept and Second the Lighting Suggestion..

Looks nice just wondering about any visibility requirements for the license plate. Looks like a good solution for those wanting a little more storage but not wanting to purchase/keep up with a trailer. :thumbup::thumbup:

I'm sorry to hear of your loss... :shocked:

 

[MRH]

No hitch, really? Do you know when you anticipate having it out of production? Any idea on the cost yet, and the difficulty to install and remove?

There is a trip I am taking in September...

JT, sorry for your loss; hard to loose a good companion

Thanks, Cocoa is missed. She passed away the day we were returning from the Alaska trip. She had a happy very well cared for life so I'm good with the time she could spend with us.

Well I finally got something done! I'm impressed with how sturdy it is.

I just have to blast and powder coat the prototype and I'm almost ready to go to the bayou!

Al, yes this does not require a $500 hitch. Initial installation requires you to remove the axle to install the swing arm adapters. After that you can take it off and on with 4 bolts and if you didn't look close when off you can't tell anything is there. When I return from Spyders on the Bayou I'll get the parts laser cut out to fabricate these and get started on producing them. So I'm hoping to have them in a month or so. It was quite fun and time consuming getting this baby right.

Gozfst, look no 4bee2! And what a pile of pre-bent parts that aren't just quite right...

Nice!

I will most likely be interested in this product. I plan on purchasing an F3 Limited in the next 8 to 12 months but was concerned about lack of storage on long trips when riding 2 up. I was also not interested in towing a trailer. This would fix that problem.

This product will not fit the F3 swing arm, it's a totally different design. This fits GS, RS, ST and RT.

I believe the 2016 F3T & F3 Limited have the RT swing arm? Someone on here will correct me if I am wrong. That is why these 2 new F3 models can be fitted with the BRP hitch.

JT,

Lamont stated that the new F3T and Limited comes with a swing arm like the RT so this may work for 900Dave since he stated that the F3 Limited is what he planned on getting.

 

[jthornton]

Yea, if the 2016 F3 has the same swing arm as the RT it should work then. Good to know.
