My Large Dog Carrier for Spyder RS

[SpyderPit]

I have a 70lb pit bull search dog that rides quite comfortably on the back of my Spyder RS. We fabricated a 24" x 18" plastic box/seat that is bolted onto a metal expansion plate that is the size of the base of the seat. That is bolted onto a Kewl Metal luggage rack. The seat has a windshield, a tuck and roll padded interior and there are eye bolts on the inside that I secure the dog's harness to. It is long enough that she can lie down when she gets tired of sitting up on long rides. I also have tail lights with turn signals on the back of the seat. The seat goes on and comes off real easy and can be both installed and removed in under 5 minutes.

That is very cool. Do you have to pick her up to get in it or does she jump on the seat?

I put a towel on my seat (so her nails don't ruin the seat) and she jumps up and goes into her seat, turns around and sits down.

Looks great!!! I could think of doing something like this if I didn't ryde with my hubby as passenger most of the time. The unit that would work probably best for us would be the Bushtec Tow-tow. It would be pretty pricey to get the Tow-two and set my Spyder RS up for towing. But, it's a nice unit.

Sorry for threadjacking your post to bring up a tow unit. You did a real nice job with the mounted box. Windshield is a nice touch!!

Looks great Kris! Tahoe looks right at home on the back of your Spyder. Looking forward to seeing you, Tahoe, and your other "Spyder Pits" around soon.

Now how neat is that being able to take your dog along for a ride. And the "doggles" are super cool.

Has anyone found a decent solution for carrying a smaller dog? We have a sh itzu-terrier mix (18 lbs) and he needs to ryde. We have looked at some front packs and cases to strap down but no real solid answer.

I've been looking for a way to take my 30 lb pup along with me so I wouldn't have to leave her behind on road trips, but haven't found a decent carrier...till today. haha but with my future in trucking, it might now happen for a while (financially).

 

[ARtraveler]

Nice looking mod. :thumbup:

 

[CyncySpyder]

Teddys spoiled with his RT-S & REFUSES to ryde an RS unless he had your set-up

Great pics and video. Now you have my husband making plans for a carrier for our 46 lb border collie/lab mix. It'd be so cool for the "family" to travel together.
