Default Dirt bike hitch?
I am in need of towing a dirt bike alternatively a light motorcycle. Would I be able to get away with one of those hitch mounted dirt bike "planks" for lack of a better word.

See attached. If a Kia can we should be able to? (250-400lbs)

Not really a dirt bike but close. And they match. Same color code orange on both. Even though the pictures differ.

I like that bike! And the orange is a good contrast to your JK. Very cool.

What kind of snorkel is that? And what did you use to paint your fenders? I was thinking of painting mine redrock.

Both the Jeep and Bike are painted. One of my clients have a body shop so they did it for no cost. I used the same orange I have on my Porsche. Which is a Porsche orange.

I believe it's AEV.

Yes it works, the only issue I ran into was the spare tire. I had to buy an extension for the hitch
