    I had one made for me a few years ago which I am getting rid of. PM me if you are interested in it
    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead
    Do not walk ahead as I may not follow.
    Do not walk beside me as the path is narrow
    In fact FU*K off and leave me alone

    So thinking of doing this again. As far as I can find out my Commodore has a ball capacity of 120kg so Im good there I think.

    Now to start looking at designs.

    Just remember, the rating is directly on top of ball, as bike and rack sit well behind this point the leverage on the tongue,
    mountiing brackets, cross tube and body mounting points can be increased greatly .

    Thinking of doing something for a trials bike on my corolla wagon. Except I'm thinking of a squarish platform above the tow bar and attaching directly through the footpegs. Then a strop to just stop the handlebars turning.

    The idea being a trials bike is light enough to lift straight on to a fixed platform.

    Attached photos of the luggage box I made up recently for the Mrs wagon when we travel with the kids. Mounts in the 2" receiver.

    Loaded up with 2x moto gear bags and a big suitcase to test and it didn't budge. FYI definitely needs the "anti-rattle" clamp I made or else it flops around everywhere.
