    Yeah that looks pretty ideal, I could attach my own ramp of simply lift it on. Reckon something like that would work with a 'normal' rounded towball?

    It would need to be attached to the ball, and the flat plate that the ball is on to give it stability.

    The OP will need to have a light board with that setup for a number plate and tail/brake Indicators to keep the red and blues happy

    My motor bike tow frame attaches in 20/30 secs.... "if I'm not in a hurry"
    pretty simple to use a standard trailer coupling on the frame & stop it rotating or
    moving up/down on the ball....

    We can bang out the simple version for about $300-400 I reckon.

    Sounds like a lot, but there's potentially a full day in building it.

    Cheers for getting back to me with a price! I understand, it sounds pretty labour intensive to make. I'll have to do some saving I think.
