The recent thread on "What Other Forums" members here visit touched upon the various motorcycle forums. Especially motivating was how to carry a bicycle on a motorcycle. I thought posting this might be helpful for those looking to do the same. Here's my completed weekend project...

Suzuki V-Strom meets Bicycle...

1) Replace rear passenger footpeg with a Fork Mount.
2) Attach crossbar to luggage rack.
3) Cut and attach a Rear Car Rack Top Tube Mount.
4) Attach a Fork Rack for the front wheel.
5) Tighten everything down well and prepare to get stared and or pointed at.

Don't pop a wheelie!

Fun project!

. . . or does that big front chainring on the bike have about 60 teeth?

Well, I'll admit it improves the aesthetics of the Strom! If only it did something about the buffeting.

I've done the same thing on a TW200 for my MTB. Works better than expected, actually.

Jeez, You're right. I thought it was a 53T but I just went out and wiped off some grease and the 3 became an 8... so its a 58T. I must be stronger than I thought! ;)
