Doc, I visited your web site. The rear carrier looks interesting. Looks like it requires a trailer hitch. Is it designed for the Can-Am hitch, or universal? How does it attach to the hitch? What is the weight limitation for the carrier? On trips we ride two up and require a bit more storage space, but I'm not sure I want to pull a trailer, so this carrier may be an option I could be interested in.

A thought, similar gloves worked for Ebenezer Scrooge. :roflblack:

I have a similar pair that I use for summer riding, but I like the deerskin/black combination. It will enable other riders to see the "wave" better.

That is always what we run into. Not enough space for short 1-2 day runs, yet don't want to drag a trailer. The one pictured has a capacity of about 40 lbs. It is 15" x 48" and all steel. The width is slightly less than the front wheels. We usually only use it for clothes, since it does mount to the oem trailer hitch and has no suspension, tied directly to the wheel. I am in the process of working on an aluminum one that should increase the capacity to 60 lbs.
Additional models will be 36" width or 48" and totally aluminum. That is what I see, anyway. Not sure on the price of the aluminum yet. Probably in the $250-300 range.

Good luck in your new venture. I may be interested in the gloves, too. Do they come in various sizes, or are they one-size only?

I did not see a size thing either--which is why I held off today. Site not working perfect? I have a couple months before the summer is upon us anyway. :roflblack:

Thanks Doc! Please let us know when you have the aluminum ones ready for sale. One quick question that I do have though. On most trailers the 'tongue weight' is only around 17-20 pounds. Since these carriers have a capacity or either 40 or 60 pounds, I would be concerned that using it could void my Can-Am Factory Warranty. Your thoughts please!

PS - Welcome to town!!!

We have Large and Extra Large. They tend to run a little small, so for guys I would say the XL's. For the ladies the Large.

I may need to research this, but I was under the impression that 70 lbs. was the capacity on the oem hitch. if that is incorrect, then the carrier will probably weigh less than 5 lbs, so just subtract that from your total and that is you capacity. And in all truth if you are carrying extra clothes and putting the heavier stuff in the cases of the bike, you won't exceed even that lowered capacity.
I will look in the manual for the spec.

Good Luck on your new venture Doc!
