Receiver hitch dolly??
#11
The OP said he already has a trailer, but no place to park it at work.
The heaviest duty hitch rack listed is only rated for 600lbs and a typical stock Sporty is awful close to that, too close for comfort in my book.
For the purpose listed by the OP, I suggest you take a look at THIS.

That's a really cool find, I wonder if it would be cost effective for the OP though...

It works!!!
Thinking of buying one of those bike dolly's that fit the receiver hitch on the suv for short trips to the bike shop, under 10 miles. Basically strap the bikes front wheel in, strap it down, put the bike in N, & go. Anybody ever used one? and are they ok for short trips?
Do not want to risk tranny damage!
I would never consider it for long hauling. I have a 2008 XL1200C Sportster.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I already have a 5x8 with ramp. Just looking for something i can use to drop the bike off at the local shop with instead of hooking up the trailer. I have no place to park the trailer at work.
The hitch dolly can be unhooked & thrown in the back. I don't want to risk screwing up the drive train in the process. I guess i will put wood decking & a wheel chock on the trailer and ask if it can be left at the shop. It doesn't sound like anyone is recommending the dolly plan.

I was looking at trailer in a bag. I just wish they weren't so expensive, because you can just break it down and throw it in the bed of the truck/back of your SUV.

Just a thought... depending on how long the bike is going to be at the dealer, perhaps you could just ask them if you could just park your trailer in the back of the lot while the bike is there.
