How do you haul a sportbike in a Baja?

Post by bulwnkl »

I think it was argh6 who had a pic of hauling his R6 in the back posted up on here, but the link is dead (or something's preventing me from seeing it?). Is anyone hauling a sportbike in their Baja, and if so, how are you doing it? I'd like to be able to carry my CBR600F4 in mine. Thanks!

First thing I'd do is just measure from the front of the front tire, to the where the rear tire contacts the ground. If that is less than the distance from the front of bed to back of tailgate when down, you should be OK. Get a Canyon Dancer soft tie-down for the front, they are great, especially for sportbikes.

It is not, and that's the issue. I _know_ I've seen a pic, and I was sure it had been on here(?), of someone doing this, but I can't find it. I was thinking they'd used an extender/ramp combo, but was looking for the pic(s) to refresh my rather poor recollection.

I found the R6 one in Technical Discussion under 'Tailgate Question'. It looks like the picture was removed though.
There was another picture of someone hauling two dirtbikes in the back of the Baja. That was under the topic 'Subaru Baja - Two Dirtbike'..something. There was something after the Two Dirtbike but I forgot what it was. :lol:
