There's a product I just found out about to prevent undue compression, and rebound, on dirtbikes when towing/hauling. It's just a plastic brace that you slip up under the front fender, sitting on top of the tire between the forks. When you tighten the tie-down straps, this thing acts as a stop, so that your forks only compress slightly. A guy I know has been using one for a while on his hitch-mounted hauler, and swears by it. Time to get myself one.

Q1: Did you have to use a hitch extension?
Is so, what length?

Q2: Is it stable from DR SD to PS SD? Or does it rattle back and forth?

Q3: How close does the fairing get when loading?

Q4: What model Varsahaul is that?

Q5: Do you notice the bike's weight back there while driving? Air suspension or no air suspension on your rig?

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks,
Tim.

A1. Yes, I have a 7" extension
A2. It does move back and forth but it's not too bad. I'm going to work on something to make it more stable.
A3. The bike clears the tire about 2-3 inches.
A4. VH-SPORT-RO
A5. Yes, you can feel the extra weight as expected with anything you haul...and yes I do have the air suspension...works great.
