Will this work with with heavy BMW sport touring bikes? I think my bike and my dads are in the 650 pound range.

It works beautifully with my '07 Road King which is about 800 lbs. Good luck!

Yes it will work just fine. My Harley is around 850 and it has no issues at all.

My bike is 30 pounds and the stand works very well. It is very well built so I don't think you will have problems.

Its a very sturdy bike/heavy bike rack but I really like the one I bought. I would say as long as the 2 inch receiver you have put on your vehicle will hold a decent amount of weight you will be okay. I would say the rack plus 3 to 4 bikes will weight between 100-125 depending on the weight of the bikes. Again I did a lot of research before I bought my bike rack and it works very good.

Should work fine, i used it on a mountain bike with 28" (just a hair bigger than your typical road bike)

If the diameter of the bar fits the stem on your bike it will work great for touring. I don't know that it is tested for the kind of abuse that a true mountain bike bar but from a touring use I love this setup.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it. I'm not an engineer, so I don't know how "overbuilt" this is and whether it would handle the extra weight. When I was researching this purchase, I remember seeing a few other carriers out there designed to carry heavier bikes. You also want to make sure the hitch on your vehicle is rated to carry that amount of weight. My vehicle's hitch is rated at 500 lbs which is the max of this carrier.

It should not have any problem to load a eBike on this carrier. Make sure to put the heaviest bike to the closest rack to the vehicle for the sake of leverage. Please also consider the tongue weight of your hitch as the carrier itself has 70 lbs plus the weight of the bikes. Don't overload it. I have my downhill bike (50 lbs) and other 3 bikes total at 180 lbs with no issues. My tongue weight max @ 500 lbs.

Yes it will. Just got back from a Colorado trip and the rack was a life saver! Just make sure the bikes do not exceed manufactures bike weight rating limit.

If you have some type of frame probably no problem....as you raise bike Make sure balance is stable. Good luck , I really like mine(heavy, FXDL).

I think that it would. I don't think the back rack on a heritage is much of a different size than the touring. Even on my touring rack it extends out off both sides a ways. Just making sure that it is securely fastened is the key. I typically send the straps forward around my passenger pegs. Hope this helps.

We have a sportster and it's pretty big on it so I would imagine it would fit a touring bike. It's been really great and held up well to the inclement weather we have had here lately in south Texas. I would definitely recommend this product.

I think it will. The only question I have is the weight of your bike. I transport 2 bikes that weigh about 30 pounds apiece with no problem.

It should handle that bike nicely. It handles my Ultra, which is a larger and heavier bike.

It will hold 2 bikes at 50 lbs each. This is a heavy duty rack that only fits a 2" hitch. Full specs are here, http://hollywoodracks.com/bike-racks/hitch-racks/sportrider-hitch-rack-SE2-tech.htm

This rack has three mounting holes on the strut, on my bicycle, I used the shortest option (on an '80s Schwinn tandem-26" wheels). It should fit with no problems. It's not the "beefiest" rack, but it should hold 20 pounds easily.

I would contact the company to be certain, but we load really beefy kids bikes on there with no problem. Just make sure your hitch is rated for the very heavy Swagman PLUS your very heavy bikes. ;)

I would tell you no less than 3/4 of an inch, and you can get it on. I rode GSXRs in the mid 1990s and can tell you this mount can handle that type sport bike. I have it on a Harley now and put on about 3,500 miles with it ~ no issues at all. It's a great mount, I would buy it again ..... Pull the trigger brother
