The load capacity that you will want to take into consideration when choosing a strap is the safe working load limit of the strap. The Erickson Ratcheting Motorcycle Tie-Down Straps, # EM05710, has a working load limit of 400 lbs each.
For your situation I would recommend the Erickson Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps, # EM31352. This includes four straps that have a safe working load limit of 500 lbs each. Keep in mind that if you have to wrap the strap around an edge of the trailer, then the... view full answer...
The # RA-17 Motorcycle Wheel Chock is designed to be used along with tie down straps to secure a motorcycle during transport.

Erickson offers # EM05710 Ratcheting Motorcycle straps sold in pairs that have a 400 lb capacity per strap. Two straps would more than cover the 700 lb weight of your bike.

The MaxxTow MaxxHaul Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier MT70101 weighs just under 50 pounds. If you need some amazing tie-down straps to keep your bike secure during transport, I recommend the ShockStrap Ratchet Motorcycle Tie-Downs w Shock Absorbers - 2" x 9' - 2,000 lbs # 297-9RSBB-M. view full answer...
The Tow-Rax Removable Wheel Chock # TWSPWC does not have a specific weight capacity because it does not actually carry any of the weight of the motorcycle. The weight of the motorcycle will be supported by the floor of the trailer, the anchor points for the tie downs and the tie down straps used to secure it.
For a set of motorcycle tie-downs I would recommend the # EM34410 as they have plenty of capacity at 4,000 lbs max capacity.
I attached review videos for both products. view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but after doing a little research, I found that the tongue weight capacity of the base and sport models of the RAV4 is approximately 150 lbs and the tongue weight capacity of the limited model is approximately 350 lbs. I would not recommend using any hitch mounted motorcycle carrier on a 2006 Toyota RAV4 to carry your 325 lb bike because the vehicle cannot support the weight of the bike and the carrier.
Instead, I would recommend either looking into a larger... view full answer...
Yes, the weight capacity on the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98873 is 500 lbs. This item can certainly hold the weight, as long as the scooter fits on the carrier. I recommend tie-down straps # EM31353, with these straps you will have no trouble carrying this item.
Be sure to check your vehicle and trailer hitch tongue weight to make sure it will support the weight of the carrier and the scooter. view full answer...
The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 can be set up using three different hitch pin holes. They measure from the center of the rail to the center of the hitch pin hole as follows:
First hitch pin hole: 19-9/16"
Second hitch pin hole: 17-9/16"
Third hitch pin hole: 15-9/16"
What you can do is measure from the center of your Honda CRF250L to where its handlebar extends and take another measurement from the hitch pin hole on your 2015 Ford Transit T150 outwards to see exactly how much... view full answer...
All of the hitch mounted motorcycle carriers we offer are compatible with a Class III receivers that have a 500 lb or better tongue weight capacity. A Class III receiver will typically have a tongue weight capacity (maximum amount of weight that can safely be suspended from hitch opening) of 350 lbs or greater and a receiver opening that measures 2 inches by 2 inches. A Class II receiver will have a lower tongue weight capacity, usually up to 300 lbs and a smaller 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch... view full answer...
Each strap in set # EM05710 is rated for a safe working load limit of 400 pounds with a 1,200 pound break strength. Using 4 of them means that combined they could secure up to a 1,600 pound object so 4 would be more than enough for a 620 pound motorcycle. view full answer...
The MaxxTow MaxxHaul Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier for 2" Hitches will weigh just under 50 pounds. I did some research on your Long Stride and found a few different models. As long the length of the bike is less than 79 inches, you are good to go.
If you need fastening straps to secure your ElliptiGO onto the MaxxHaul carrier, I recommend the Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Straps w/ Web Clamps and S-Hooks # EM31353. The Erickson straps are effective because they are made with zinc-plated steel... view full answer...
The Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier # UF48-979033 has the capacity for up to a 500-lb motorcycle so it can handle your 425-lbs BMW with some room to spare. Safety margin is always a good thing. Your Curt hitch # C14002 has a very substantial 1000-lb tongue weight (TW) rating so it too provides a healthy safety margin for carrying the 425-lb BMW plus the 50-lb carrier. I suggest a hitch lock # e98880 to secure the carrier to your truck.
In terms of stabilizing the carrier and bike I suggest... view full answer...
The clamp on the B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System for Trailers # BWMC2301 is designed to attach to motorcycle frames that are between 1-1/8" and 1-1/4".
You will need to measure the diameter of the frame on your 2013 HD Ultra to see if this would fit. view full answer...
You are on the right track in recognizing that use of a hitch extension or adapter changes the forces on the hitch. This in turn changes the hitch's tongue weight (TW) capacity.
In the same way that using a cheater bar on the end of a tire iron can give you more leverage to loosen a stubborn lug nut, using a hitch extension like # C45791 or an adapter like # D-192 will let the chosen carrier exert more force on the hitch tube. This is why use of any such item reduces the hitch capacity... view full answer...
Thank you for your purchases from etrailer.com, including the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873.
Since this carrier has a weight capacity of 500-lbs, your 269-lb scooter is well within its capabilities. You also want to check the safety sticker on your hitch to ensure it is rated for the combined weight of the carrier and scooter (58+269=327-lbs). You'll also want to check your HHR owner's manual to confirm the vehicle's own tongue weight (TW) rating also is high enough for this combined... view full answer...
To use the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier, part # e98873, you'll need to equip your 2017 Honda Tucson with 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver.
I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch, part # 75836. This easily installs without drilling and will provide the right type of hitch to carry your dirt bike. However, my research shows that a 2017 Tucson with a 2.0 engine would have a tongue weight of only 150 pound and with a 2.4 liter engine it would have a tongue weight of 200 pounds.

There is not a longer ramp available than the 39-3/8 inch long ramp that comes with the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier with Ramp for 2" Hitch # e98873.
This carrier has a 500 lb capacity so it will easily be able to haul your 300 lb V-Star, and if you do go with it you do have the option of adding a lock with the Threaded Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin Lock # e99047.
The only other thing you will need are tie downs, the Motorcycle Tie Downs # SS6-SL14.

I reached out to CargoSmart and found that there is no weight capacity rating for the CargoSmart Motorcycle Wheel Chock for E-Track or X-Track Systems # 3481731 since it is only meant to stabilize your motorcycle. The limiting factor would be the E-track in this case.
Assuming you are using the single slot E-track tie-down points like the Snap-Loc E-Track Tie-Down Anchor # SLSB you shouldn't have any problems. Although I do not know the capacity of what you have, each of these has a safe... view full answer...
As far as the tongue weight capacity on hitches, every hitch has a specific rating. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13281, for example, has a maximum tongue weight of 525 pounds while the etrailer Hitch Receiver # e72TR has a maximum tongue weight of 675 pounds.
In addition, we need to consider the weight capacity of the motorcycle carrier itself. If you were looking at the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - With Ramp # UF48-979033, that has a... view full answer...
