Frequently Asked Questions

Hopefully something here is helpful?

Is it easy to install?

Installing any of our racks is easy and takes less than 30 minutes the first time. All of our racks come with step-by-step directions for mounting the rack to your motorcycle and mounting your toys to the rack. In addition, we’re available for support by phone or email. Don't worry about some automated machine. We talk to you directly and help you through any questions you have. You also have access to our online installation videos.

Will I have to modify my motorcycle or do any drilling?

Installation of any of our 2x2 Cycles racks require no modifications to your motorcycle or toy you intend to be mounting (bicycle, golf clubs, snowboards, etc). Only in extremely rare and unusual cases (cases that would otherwise not possibly be able to mount to) do we recommend any type of revertible modifications.

What effect will it have on my bicycle frame? Will it get scratched or stressed?

As passionate bicyclists, we love our bicycles and we know you love yours too. Rest assured we would never design a product that would do any harm to your bicycle. Your bicycle will NOT be scratched and will have NO stress put upon it. With our unique design, you place the front fork into the quick release of the rack (supports both standard and 15mm axles), and then you lower the pedal arm into the patented Pedal Arm Holder. Not even your bottom bracket comes in contact with the rack. The bottom of the saddle is lined with gum rubber and on the inside of the carrying arm there is a protective plug for the inside arm of the crank arm. Yes, we even protect the crank arm. That is all the contact you can expect; no frame stress or pinched cables and no scratches (except for the well earned ones on the trail).

Is it safe? What about wind and handling?

All of our racks are designed to ride in line with the rider, thus keeping the balance of the motorcycle on center and at the lowest profile possible. In most cases your body is blocking any forward wind effects on the mount behind you since we do not mount in a way to be wider than the rider. By nature, a bicycle is all holes, so any wind is generally going to pass through it. The rider and mass of the motorcycle will have more effect than the bicycle. After a couple of minutes of riding you will find yourself looking back to make sure it is still there.

What size bicycle will it fit?

Our Motorcycle Bicycle Carrier has a fully telescoping Pedal Arm Holder and Fork Tower mount, allowing it to be adjustable to fit any size bicycle – EXCEPT recumbent, tandems, and unicycles.

Where does the front wheel go?

There is a small "L" shaped slotted fork arm that comes out of the Pedal Arm Holder where you simply place the front wheel and tighten the quick release. All of our racks come with a hi-viz tailflag to be mounted to your stored front tire for added visibility.

Where are the racks built?

All of our racks are built by us, by hand, in the United States. We source our steel from a local business, we have our laser cutting done nearby, and have our powder coating done by a business down the street. We oversee every aspect of the construction of our rack and do everything we can to build a product that we trust and believe in.

I do not live in the United States, do you ship to other countries?

Absolutely! We have many customers rocking our racks all over the world. For international customers, we ship with via USPS Priority International and charge a flat rate of $59 for all racks! No matter where you are in the world, we'll get it to you for $59. International shipping for only smaller accessories (not racks) reflects their lighter weight and will be anywhere from $10-30 depending on the weight/size of the accessory item.
