Are L Brackets Removable on Swagman Claw S64700 and Alternate Mounting Options
Question:
Will the legs or l brackets for the mounting holes come off and turn around so the bolt holes are inward instead of outward? If so what is the bolt hole to hole distance

Expert Reply:
I do have another option for you, but the only way to mount the The Claw Fork Mount Bike Carrier # S64700 is on 5-1/4 mounting hole centers. The ends of the center barrel are not removable. Also, there is not enough space to allow for the brackets to face one another on the inside.
A similar fork mount bike carrier that also works with 9mm bike axles is the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier # HRT970, which mounts on 3" centers instead, as shown in the attached photo.
I have attached a review video for you to check out at the bottom of the page.
