Default Bicycle Rack for Harley's

Hey, As y'all can tell I'm still new here. Being an avid mountain biker too I was wondering if anyone out there make bicycle racks for motorcycles. I know I have seen them in the pass or did I see something that was home made by someone. Try not to laugh to much about this but once you try off road mountain biking you're hooked for life.

Nope not at all, I know I have seen bicycle racks on motorcycles before. I know it does look very strang and funny.

Okay, I saw an Electra-Glide with a milk crate strapped to the passenger seat last week.&nbsp\\; Now, I have an old Honda Hawk that also has a milk crate strapped behind the seat, but I always thought Harley riders were held to a slightly higher standard?

I'm guessing, but I suspect it was a homemade rig. I saw a guy toting his surfboard on a sporty a couple of weeks ago in Malibu. Had to question safety on that move.

I got a better idea.
Since nobody goes mountain biking alone, have you bro cart your wheels up with his, and you ride your sporty. That way, if you need to run for another six pack, you can.

I initially though you were asking about a motorcycle rack to carry your motorcycle on the back of your car.&nbsp\\;

Well even though it may be a little unsafe I&nbsp\\;have a welder buddy that built something for his BMW and it worked pretty well. he did a road trip with his Seven single speed on the left side of his fender and his IF road bike on the right. he put 2000 miles on it with out any problems.
&nbsp\\;
I work in the bicycle industry and as far as I know (and it is kind of my job to know) no one makes racks to mount on a motorcycle, probably due to liability isssues. But if you go to a metal shop they can fab something up that could be mounted to hold Yakima or Thule trays.
&nbsp\\;
or you can just get a cruiser/touring trailer and mount bike trays to it.
