Ive done a ton of research on these and there is hardly a better option. There are two heavier duty options that generally just add ~50lbs of carrying capacity. Rig'd Supply and Wilco both make swing out adapters that are rated for some extra weight but are literally double the price of the 1up ($900-$1100). 1up came out with a newer version of RakAttch (2.0) that functions better. I have a Talaria e-moto (so a lot less weight than this bike), and just finished installing the RakAttach 2.0. So far it seems very sturdy.

Hey man, couple of things, How much does your bike weigh? I was going to do the same as you but have decided to build my own sturdier RakAttach system, but make a rear bumper out of it and add some additional welding off the frame rails to beef it up. However, I too have the 158" Sprinter, though 4x4 so a little bit higher, but the departure angle is destroyed by just coming straight out from the RakAttach like yours, have you thought about adding a hitch riser between the RakAttach and MotoTote? It would definitely lift your rack up and increase the departure angle. I was even considering building something similar to the "Ultimate MX hauler" to fit between the RakAttach type bumper and the MotoTote, so I can really crank mine up so it doesn't effect the departure angle at all, but will also lower back down if it's too high to use the ramp. I've seen another thing on KZread where another guy built his own rack, "Ian9toes", kind of a weird name, but from his Sprinter hitch he had a roller right on the bottom off it too so if he hit the ground it would roll rather than scrape the fuck out of the hitch, just ideas..
@alexsmelly22632 жыл бұрын
Hey dude. When I started to consider hauling my bike I also planned to design and build a heavier duty version of the rakattach, with more support. But I was already finishing up final touchs on the van and doing last minute repairs to make it to a gig i had lined up. I dont have a 4x4 so I'm not usually around really aggressive departure angles although i have been a handleful of times and it has scraped. I also considered the ultimate mx hauler and still really like the idea. I if i was outfitting a 4x4 van i would be more concerned about how low the bike sits, and in that case id probly build my own like your suggesting, or id attach a hitch on the front of the van and use something like the mx hauler and i wouldnt need the rakattach. The bike weighs about 300lbs.

I bought a new flywheel and clutch from rock auto for 200. Then i had to lengthen my driveshaft cuz the 5 speed was shorter. Cost me 75. I also had to get a trans crossmember. About 1100 total. It took me about 10 hours to finish the job.
No worries, thanks for uploading the video, and the quick reply damn, helping to educate worldwide. How's the difference power wise ? Was it harder with the Mustang than the rest? Unsure about the electronic aspect of it, if it's going to make it more of a bitch as I don't know much on that side of things. Sorry bout so many question. Thanks
What were the electrical obstacles you came across?
@@alexsmelly2263 you got a deal on that. I’ve seen sbf zfs going for 2k and up. That’s why I keep my poor mans zf5. The np435
@@alexsmelly2263 I have a question, so my automatic transmission in my 92 gas 460 went out , would my zf5 manual transmission out of my 7.3 diesel bolt up to my gas 460?
Did you have to change the adapter from the motor?
I had to remove the torque converter and instal a flywheel and clutch if thats what you mean
@@alexsmelly2263 did you use the same spacer plate between the transmission bell housing and the motor
@@ghostrider-tj7du yes I didnt change any spacer plate.
Awesome dude. I'm picking up a 1988 f150 5.8 5 speed 4x4 with a lift as a donor vehicle and looking for another brinck nose bronco to swap the complete drive train and axels into it. Miss my 87 and 96, both were auto sadly.
Yea dude obs vehicles are relatively simple to auto to manual swap. Getting a donor vehicle is the best way to go though. Good luck dude
@@alexsmelly2263 I cant wait, just going to swap the ECM and wiring and cluster and everything right into the bronco and get the drive shafts shortened hopefully the drive shafts are the hardest part
How long did the whole swap take?
Took about 2 weeks but thats including waiting on a flywheel and clutch in the mail and also getting a driveshaft shortened. But the actual work took me about 10 hours
@@alexsmelly2263 can you take the flywheel off the manual truck and put it on the truck you're doing the swap on?
@@isaacbautista3180 yes i dont see why not.. I didnt have a complete donor truck I just found bits here and there and had to buy a flywheel is all.
About to do a swap myself. Wondering if a steering column is needed or if I could just use the block of cover for the auto shifter off the manual one.
I just used the automatic one. If have any other questions or problems feel free to ask
@@alexsmelly2263 Good to hear i can use the auto one. Thank you I appreciate it.
Alex, can you do a swap for me? If I drive to you?
Of course
@@alexsmelly2263 Hell, how much would it run me?
What year and body style is your truck? Do you have the manual trans? Or any swap parts?
@@alexsmelly2263 It's a 1993 Ford E350 7.3 non turbo van/box truck. 2WD with the E4OD. I don't have the trans or anything yet.
Trans and all the parts you need will probly cost between 1200 to 1500 and I would charge 1000 to do the swap maybe less
What all needed to go to zf5 ? Stock m5od hydraulics work?
I have an accesory belt driven hydraulic pump on my rollback, so I didnt have to worry about that. I needed Clutch pedal/brake pedal Flywheel/clutch Master/slave cylinder Crossmemeber from zf5 truck And i had to lengthen my driveshaft
@@alexsmelly2263 that all makes sense! Thank you!
How much does the driveshaft need to be lengthened?
