Re: Bike rack with trailer hitch

I just take off the front wheel, rear wheel, left pedal and lower the seat. Then my mtb goes in the trunk with the seat folded down. Don't know about the sedan.

Or, I take my wifes Silhouette mini-van with the Yakima roof rack.

Are you talking sedan or coupe?

The wife has an Acura that will accomodate a truck mount. The Thule mount will not work on the G35 Coupe. As yet, no one manufactures a hitch for the coupe

Re: Bike rack with trailer hitch

The hitch does exist, I just can't remember which forum I saw it on. At least 3 different people had them installed, welded to frame in rear with a relatively stealth install just under the license plate. Keep looking. I'll be searching more diligently next spring when I plan on having a hitch installed to tow around a couple of motorcycles.

Re: Bike rack with trailer hitch

I have the hitch, but it wasn't welded at all, it bolts right up.

Re: Bike rack with trailer hitch

Here's something dholly posted on another thread. So, it's been done. Question is still where/how. Freshalloy.com user pgonza2 was the user cited as having done this.
