Make your Motorcycle Hitch carrier Safe by adding trailer lights | How To
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Motorcycle Hitch carriers are great and work better than you would think. But the main problem with them is that your tail lights are blocked from View when your motorcycle is on the back. In this video, I will show you how to easily add trailer lights to your Moto hitch carrier. Better be safe than sorry, If somebody rear-ended me without the tail lights viewable it may be considered my fault. I hope this video was helpful, thanks for watching!

That's a good little video. You might want to think about moving your license plate in case you get an overzealous cop who wants to give you a ticket cuz he can't see your license plate. I did that online. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Smart upgrade. Yes, those Klein crimpers are fantastic. I wish i had not waited so long to buy mine
Great idea man. Especially when going into town for supplies etc

Reminds me I need to rewire my tow wiring. I have the same issue hauling motorcycles on my Black Widow carrier and I've been lucky so far I haven't gotten a ticket.

for sure. I have been lucky too but wanted to get it done before something bad happend
you can now get a IMS tank made for the tw200 from procycle. I've installed one, it wasn't to difficult. It doubles the fuel capacity of the T-dub!
Thanks for the video ! Question, "If you guys want a more detailed video . . . maybe I'll do one on my OTHER CHANNEL." What is your other channel ?
I did this exact setup and took my 4runner/TW combo from WA to MN and back. Except, my bike hitch was from harbor freight 😆

Nice! Its a good mod especially if you drive with it a lot
Yeah my KX300 fell off my black widow rack 2 days ago. I didn't have it in gear Even with the ratchet straps it rolled off to one side The straps did their job but it was my fault. Luckily the KLX only suffered minor damage I was only doing about 10 mph. So yeah strapping down one tire is definitely important
Well done.

I got pulled over and got a warning for this exact reason a few years back. State Trooper said he couldn't see my brake lights or turn signals. I promptly added trailer lights to fix the issue.

Don’t obscure your tag, I move my tag to the Cycle carrier I installed some LED lights on my camper. Shell, it’s above my TW.
Dude! I made extended pilot screws so you can adjust the mixture on the carb without tools. How do I get in contact with you so I can send you one for freesies?!? It would be sick for the high altitude CO terrain!!!
