Tow Bar

Is there anyone that could point me in the right direction as to where I could get a design and maybe measurements to make a custom tow bar for my evo as I am located in Aus and would like to keep my evo and tow my ski at the same time.

Thanks Guys

There was a member here who was fabbing the tow hitches & selling. I contacted him some time ago & he no longer makes them (cant remember his name off hand)

Here's an old thread on EVOs w/hitches

use your stock crash beam and weld a hitch receiver to it. this is my set up

not too sure he "had" to. but he did, and he just put a gusset on both sides. to be honest not sure the gauge steel he used. the receiver is just a universal 2" blank.

Really liken that idea. First time Ive seen that! Great idea. Looks like you have run a few times

Thats a lot of tongue weight w/that mini trail bike on there

Saved the picture for future ref. I just want to tow a trailer w/my race tires

Curious where the hitch pin goes?

i've done a lot of "long" trips upstate with the raptor 700 and kx250 cruising at 70 (sometimes more) with 0 issues. The bumper has a small cut out behind the plate, the hitch pin is seated right outside of the bumper. you can kind of see it in the thread I posted with the bicycles on the back. the klx110 on the dirtbike hitch however i do not suggest although it holds i wouldn't trust it. took a few 20 min trips with it.
