Dimension From Hitch Pin Hole to Center of Wheel Tray on e98873 Motorcycle Carrier

Question:

I am concerned that the handlebar of my CRF250L will hit the rear window of my Transit T150 when this is installed and the bike is mounted. Can you provide a dimension from the center of the moto wheels of this rack to the end of the 2 inch hitch when the rack is fully installed?

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 room you need. For tie-down straps you can use the Erickson Ratcheting Motorcycle Tie-Down Straps # EM05710.

I've added links to video reviews on these products for you to check out.
