I too went with the front m/c rack on my Ram 3500. Traded out tow hooks for 2/2" receivers, had a welder make up the rack. Very solid and removeable. Works super for my t/c and 5th wheel, 1000's of miles of use.
On the road now but do have more pic's if interested. Sending this from iPad....missing my laptop, hope pic shows. Safe travels Brian

Personally I think having only 10 percent hitch weight is going to give you very squirrelly handling and serious problems with sway. Most hitch weights are over 2 and 1/2 times what you're proposing.

Not only could be interesting, could be pretty expensive if the hitch or carrier gives up while traveling. 🙂

The Bike I ended up with is a 2011 Kawasaki KLR so a little more dirt than street but I plan on having a welder friend look over my frame to see what might be the best option for enforcing the mount.
The bike is 432 lbs. wet so not too weight much compared to the other bikes I was looking over.
Keeping an eye on this thread and hoping to see some good results.

Yes I do have a front hitch but again I'll be close to maxing it out for it's rated for 500# so I now have another idea.
I saw this setup before and they had two quads on the back of the larger model but this might be the safest solution I've found so far;
I think this might be what I need but I've yet to buy the bike, I do like the middle range over the skinny bikes and I think I'm leaning toward BMW F650 GS or the Suzuki V-strom 650 ABS.
Any opinions on these two bikes?
Thanks as always,
