Hi,

Sorry if its a repost. I looked for this as far as I could in the posts but couldn't find any.

I'm looking to buy a bike and get a class 2 hitch installed on my FXT'14. to haul my bike. I'm new to this whole business of towing/hauling. I found 2 ways to haul a bike. one is using a hitch mount motorcycle carrier which is relatively cheaper to own and another is the flat bed carrier which might get costly to own but cheaper to rent. Now my question is which is better for fxt14+ with its limited towing capacity ( I believe it will be well under the capacity though). Is it safe with the hitch mount to carry the motorcycle for long distances?

Any input is appreciated.

I'm looking at triumph rocket III. I believe it has a weight of about 800lbs.

Thanks,
