I have posted in wanted and posted on ebay but got nowhere! . What I need is to carry my moped on the back of my van. It has a swan neck tow bar. Has anyone been able to get one or make a carry rack? I have welding equipment and skills. Just need some prompts and ideas. Better still a ready made rack!!!
Thanks
BTW, thanks for all replies so far but none of the suppliers do one for a swan neck towbar.

I cant for the life of me work out how you would attach one to a swan neck towbar - it would just twist around surely.

Thats probly why no one makes one.

Suppose you could weld a wacking great big bar to it and make one similiar to dave cooper does.

Firm called BakRak do a swan-neck adapter, it clamps onto the ball (very clever patented clam-shell device, locks with a single bolt and is tested to 600KG limit so will easily take the load ) With this adapter you can mount any normal 2-bolt towball fitting to it and it then works as it`s supposed to. I`ve got one on my Westy swan-neck towbar, along with a Dave Cooper scooter rack mounted to it, works fine and still comes in under the towbar max load limit of 100KG

Look for the swan-neck convertor, costs about £30, ring `em up and order, as their online shop doesn`t work properly, which I`ve told `em about in numerous phone calls Took me a few calls to get one delivered, don`t know why, they don`t seem right well organised, but the product is the dogs

There you go Kieth - who would have thought it. Looks good for £30!

Nice

Thanks for that Joker and Ringo. Knew there'd be something! Too late for this weekend but I'll ring them when I get back later in the week. Suppose it'll have to be the push bike for now!

or try dave cooper bike racks on the net great service

Yes Ginge, BakRak for the adapter, and Dave Cooper for the scooter rack
Don`t tell Cooper you`re putting his rack onto an adapter to fit it to a swan-neck, or he`ll get a bit funny
